PROUD PARENT

An Adult Little Grebe and one of it's offspring, I think she has two. However I haven't very often seen the two chicks close together. Apparently once the chicks reach a certain age, they tend to bond with an adult and are then looked after, fed and taught to fish on a one to one basis. They do stay around in the same area, but don't follow each other as ducklings do.

All of todays posts are of Little Grebes, if you wish to see the others just follow the links below......

Lovely shot, the chick looks bigger than the parent. He/she must be doing a great job of feeding it.

Love that reflection and the focus on those feathers.
