I think that is an excellent plan!

 

As Pappa lives in the same street as me he knows what a relatively short distance it is for me to get to the area he speaks of I would dearly love to drive down to the area and spend an early morning by the water watching. While I am not all that informed where birdwatching goes (having picked up most of my limited knowledge from growing up in a family of birdwatchers) I do have a reasonable, if basic, pair of binoculars and a reasonable camera with a telephoto lens. It is certainly a lot closer than The Cairngorms!

 

I dearly want to spend some time exploring Scotland some time and will message you before I go Jerra thanks

I hope no one objects if I share a few of the photo's I took of Great Crested Grebes while on my travels a couple of weeks ago?

 

These were taken on the reservoir above the dam at Lymm

While this is a very poor quality photo it was taken in early morning with low light levels and these birds were a long distance away in the centre of the lake at Westport Lakes on The Trent & Mersey

There were some very young grebes around this pair too

What great photos. I wish I could do as well, thanks for sharing.

There were always crested grebes at Glasson dock when we were there, one of my favorite birds to watch, wondering where they would surface, d

Seen more on the river navigations than canals. Loads of Grebe on the Witham, Nene, South Yorkshire (Don) Navigation

Thanks for that useful information.
