BN Grebe at Kessingland Shore Pool

On Thursday 19th September, directly after work, I drove over to Kessingland from work and the new bridge cut my time crossing Lowestoft in half which was great. At about 6pm, I parked up and Andrew E. also drew up too and we walked over to the cliff top to descend the steep steps, stopping to view the much reduced shore pool where the fine immature winter Black- necked Grebe could be seen albeit distantly, but Andrew then mentioned "Peregrine!", and a fine Peregrine flew north low over the beack fortunately not going for the Grebe. We walked across the beach and we viewed the Grebe at closer quarters, it spent a lot of the time diving. I managed a few pics but the weather was quite overcast and cloudy.
