A busy day today with plenty of cooking and chores to do around the house but of course you don't want to read about my domestic drudgery. A small window of opportunity and the chance of a lift saw me escaping for a while and heading towards Eyebrook for a little twitchy excursion. My aim was to see the Slavonian Grebe found here during the week and which had been reported again this morning. The weather was a very mixed bag of cloud, showers with the occasional sunny spell while a cool breeze meant that my gloves came in very handy.

| Slavonian Grebe |
I found the grebe south of the island which appears to be its favourite spot and it showed fairly well from the island bunker. Unusually for recent Slavs this one was actually in the same postcode as me and I got some decent views of it as it fed not too far off the shore. I wasn't at the reservoir for long and didn't venture any further than the island so didn't manage to see much else, two Dunlins were the only other birds of note.
