Five grebes in an hour

Between changing the dressing on my father in laws head, shopping for him, getting his meds and lunch I managed an hour to visit KGV with the Jims. On arrival at north basin we quickly found the Slavonian Grebe close in with a group of Tufted Ducks and then scanned the basin for the Red-necked Grebe which we eventually found in the far north west corner. Lot's of Great-crested and Little Grebes were present as they generally are here making it four species of Grebe which has us thinking could we make it five so we set off to scan the Girling across the road and sure enough there was a Black-necked Grebe amongst a group of Tufted Ducks on the far side along with two Brent Geese which I think is a new bird for me at the local reservoirs.
