Strathbeg and Number 102

This is just to quickly log year sighting one hundred and two, a Slavonian Grebe.  I went to the Loch of Strathbeg this afternoon.  All the usual suspects were there, Whopper Swan, Mute Swan (you know they are not mute they make a soft grunting noise), Mallards, Goldeneye, Wigeon, Grey Heron, Buzzard and so on.  At the far side of the Loch one of the other 'watchers in the Fen Hide spotted a small diving bird.  After some discussion it was agreed that it was a Slavonian Grebe.  No picture I'm afraid it was too too far away,  I had difficulty seeing any detail with my telescope.  But here is today's photo:-
