Alan, Clare has posted a link to Arne on another thread. This is it and two birds are mentioned. I like the comment by the birder who said " I tried to smile".! Coombe Heath is a reserve a little way West of Arne so it may be they had been to Arne earlier BUT there is a small lake shown near Coombe Heath.

Thanks Mike. Not long back from Rutland Water where we still have 2 adults and 3J at Manton Bay..
