This was my first visit to the flash with the new barrier and electronic payment machines working.These new machines,so far, are more easily understood and used I did my usual circuit, seeing no kingfishers yet again ....some new perches would probably help a lot in the usual places, together with a general drop in water levels.I continued to what appears to be a small pool with a reedbed, but is actually connected to the main Flash.This can be good for a breeding pair of Great Crested Grebe, despite the regular disturbance by a succession of dogs off lead.Fortunately, a pair of GCGs were present (along with the dog disturbance): Mute Swan by Philip Gaulton, on Flickr Great Crested Grebe by Philip Gaulton, on Flickr Great Crested Grebe by Philip Gaulton, on Flickr Great Crested Grebe by Philip Gaulton, on Flickr Great Crested Grebe by Philip Gaulton, on Flickr Great Crested Grebe by Philip Gaulton, on Flickr Great Crested Grebes by Philip Gaulton, on Flickr Great Crested Grebe by Philip Gaulton, on Flickr Unfortunately I was interupted by an aggressive dog off lead and had to turn around to confront it, until the owner eventually put it back on a lead, saying nothing at all to me...as usual!
