Leeshaw Reservoir - Red-necked Grebe still present - Ian Skayman and Brian Vickers

Looking back at the Bradford Records, this Red-necked Grebe is our 10th record. The last one was in 2016. If you can brave the cold, it is worth a trip out to see it.

Also present were 4 Pink-footed Geese with the Greylags.
