They are back.

The Great crested grebes are back at the lake making it 13 years running ive photographed them. at this site.

In a bitingly cold East wind i managed a few distant shots of them displaying. I expect them to disappear with the forecast of a polar blast next week.

The small circle at the left is where the birds hung around when they showed.



It was basic pair bonding with mirroring, head tossing and some weed dance displayed.

Re: They are back.

Thanks folks, yes im lucky Braveheart at one point it was about the only lake that had them breeding up here.

They have always managed to get a few young fledged each year and now a few more ponds have a pair.

The lakes will freeze next week and possibly the following week as well so most birds will depart i hope they survive.
