Variable Weather Days

I have been down to Scarborough's Harbour in my lunch break the last few days. A Red Necked Grebe has been showing well in thew harbour for a few days.

On Monday the weather was very grey and cloudy, gloomy light. No joy with the Red Necked Grebe but I did see the female Goldeneye that has been around for a fair while. There was a pair at first but I have not seen the male Goldeneye. I took a gloomy record shot. The RNG was no where to be seen although it was reported through the morning and again early and mid afternoon, charming.

Tuesday was glorious, no sign of the RNG, but I did catch up again with the Goldeneye this time in good light. Later reports said the RNG was just outside the harbour mouth mid afternoon.

Today the weather was cloudy, not so bad as Monday but not good. A look around revealed the Goleneye, again. Finally I found the RNG outside the harbour mouth, distant but a poor record shot is shown to confirm I finally engaged.
