Dad and I made arrangements to meet Brian at KGV Reservoir this morning, and while waiting for him to arrive I scanned the south basin and found the Red-necked Grebe.

| Red-necked Grebe |
The water company was carrying out work along the eastern side of the south basin so we had to walk the long way around to get to the causeway. Having stayed in yesterday I still needed several of the commoner species and I duly added Canada Goose, Pochard, Grey Heron, Jackdaw, and Greenfinch before reaching the causeway. Scanning through the Tufted Ducks I managed to pick out a male Scaup and got Brian and dad onto it. As we began scanning from the causeway the rain started to fall and it soon turned into a heavy downpour. We managed to find a male Goosander before the constant heavy rain forced us back to the car.
There were reports of Great Northern Diver and Slavonian Grebe present on the North basin but the rain was just too heavy to search for them today.
