I don't twitch but I do watch for birds all the time and I have never seen a black-necked grebe or a Shag inland either! So you really are quite lucky! |

Good birds. Black-necked Grebes aren't particularly common anywhere in UK, though there are regular sites where you can see them. Shag is a common coastal bird in west + north, but inland birds are not common.
I remember on my visits to Scilly regularly seeing large flocks, sometimes over 100, diving for food. | | |
