All the water birds again


1st December 15       morning            mid section

mostly sunny, mild,  11-12°c,  1019 mb, SW 9-12 mph,


All the action was again on the canal, two winter plumage little grebe together by the Tennis Courts and the summery one by the weir at Prefabs, where  a grey wagtail flew from the weir over canal to Graiseley brook and the kingfisher was flushed by a walker on the towpath passing over the Graiseley brook. I was on the bridge over the Smestow when it emerged from Graiseley to Smestow brook and flew north. So all three water birds within a few metres.
