The harsh weather and frozen inland water bodies meant that sightings of grebes became very scarce for me this winter. No doubt that many decided to head for the coast for the winter, but sure enough as the weather and temperatures have picked up in late Feb and into March, they all begin to return.
A day in the environs of Hatfield Moors, near Doncaster, is a good call for a grebe fix this spring. Supporting a generous number of breeding Great-Crested and Little Grebes the area is fast becoming a strong hold for Black-necked Grebes aswell. Add to this the unusual but sight faithful summering Red-necked Grebe at Ten-Acre Lake and you really can't expect much more on the grebe front within a smallish area.
