Little Grebe

Today I went for a walk along the Itchen Way,from Eastleigh in Hampshire,to Winchester.It was longer than I thought, but it was worth it.Thousands of banded demoiselles all over the place for miles, quite a few dragonflies, but they wouldnt stop for a pic.
I saw something sitting quietly on the opposite bank of the river, it was a little grebe


I havent seen one for years.
then I found this proud mother

I also saw reed warblers who didnt hang around waiting for me to focus, but got a pair of tufted ducks

and what for me is a good shot of a wagtail

I saw a Water Vole as well but he didnt hang about to pose.
I have sore feet now but it was a great walk,over 10 miles and it is all riverbank.
