Managed to get three hours birding in on my dinner hour this week at Acre nook and Lapwing pool.The Black necked grebe has been present all week and 5 Mandarin on the far pool at Acre nook were a new bird for me in the area, only scope views were obtained as to distant for the camera.These are a few photos I managed to get this week.
