Two Hoary-headed Grebe right beside the platform today, and one Crested Grebe nearby. I could just make out another 3 Crested Grebe way out in the lake (south of the platform).

Sorry for the late post, but a single Hoary-headed Grebe and four Great Crested Grebe were at Lake Elterwater on 17-18 September.

Stopped at Elterwater this morning. Spotted a crested grebe on the far side of the lake almost immediately, and a young hoary head cruised by very close after about half an hour. It then disappeared among the dead trees left of the lookout and played hide and seek for a while, until an older bird turned up further out in the middle of the lake. Never did manage a photo but happy to see them.

The highlight of a brief visit to Elterwater today was two hoary-headed grebes with a grebeling(?), so they're breeding again. Also a pair of crested grebes and lots of shovelers in the open water, but couldn't pick out a northern.

There were three hoary-headed grebes (a pair of adults and a juvenile) among the poisoned willows to the left of the viewing platform this evening

Hi there
Just like Colin, I saw two adult Hoary Headed Grebes & one chick on the parents back less than 10 metres from the viewing platform this afternoon. Enough to make any birder very happy!
There were also two Great Crested Grebes. There was one other smaller grebe on the far side of the lake, but I could not identify it as either a Dabchick or Hoary Headed.
Cheers
