This Crested Grebe was definitely eyeballing me. This was just before he came out of the water waving his wings at me - see yesterday's image. What a fabulous expression he has!!
@golftragic I don’t really know Marnie. Normally the grebes are out in the middle of lakes and too far away for a photo as was the female. She did have her babies on her back so maybe he was just protecting them? After this shot he came up out of the water- see yesterday’s image.
@golftragic just a small duck. A bit smaller than a mallard I think.i have never seen this behaviour before - only from a swan and that was scary as I had Finlay on the lead trying to get the swan! I beat a hasty retreat as I am not keen on a closeup encounter with a swan! Lol!
@pamknowler Oh that's OK then, you could easily have handled that scenario. Like you I'd be beating a hasty retreat if it were a swan, they can be very nasty when annoyed.
