Took these photos on the 5 Oct
A small diving bird (smaller than a moorhen) was in the iris at the side of the lodge and I disturbed it, it dived and surfaced moving away from me, went back later with DSLR but no sign of it. I thought at first it was a young grebe.
It was among the Iris again this morning 8 Oct it eluded me again.
