A headsup for anyone making the trek out to Eynesbury Grey Box forest at the Golf Club.
In the main lake an enterprising pair of Australasian Grebe have taken advantage of a downed sapling with its branches in the water, and have setup home among the twigs and leaves.
I only managed one shot of the eggs, and I suspect there are four. Everytime the sitting bird leaves the nest, it pulls the loose green weed over the eggs for security.
Hopefully we’ll get a couple more visits to see how things progress.

Great to know, David! Thanks for that!

Nice to see they are “enterprising” like that. Lovely shots of them as well. I watched a couple of them late last year and all the chicks survived. Hope these do as well.

Another wonderful find David. It will be interesting to see the nestlings when they arrive. This is about the only time you actually see the male and female together.

Hi Ashley, its a bit far for us to travel regularly, but we plan to follow up if we can.
We also another single bird on a pond in a public gardens, I am sure its waiting for its mate to turn up so they can get busy too.

What a great spot for them to choose, and I do like the way she covers the eggs over when she leaves. A wonderful series of images David.

I wonder if you manage to create another family chronicle in pictures, David. The Little Grebe’s care for the eggs is endearing.

Hello Adam, The journey to Eynesbury is a bit too far for a regular visit, but we will try, weather permitting to see them a couple more times during the season.
