A couple of local trips this past week, the first to Lee Valley to see a Green-winged Teal. It was reported to be on the "Goose Field Pond" I know this area very well, as it was my local patch for many years. We parked in the farm car park and walked across the bridge taking the path down towards the weir. We could see a small group of birders looking across the river as we approached. The Green-winged Teal was asleep at the back edge of the pond.

Yesterday a Red-necked Grebe was reported on Lockwood Reservoir at Walthamstow Wetlands. It was still present at 5pm, so we decided to head over there early this morning. Walthamstow Wetlands is the largest European urban wetlands nature reserve, the size of 500 football pitches, and has ten reservoirs. Lockwood was the last to be created and it's the largest.
We crossed the road from the gatehouse and walked towards the reservoir. Having climbed the steps It didn't take long to locate the grebe, it was still in the southern corner as of the previous day.
