Little Grebe - Tachybaptus ruficollis
Canon 800mm f5.6 for 1/2500th @ iso400
Tucked away in the lily bed the Little Grebes after at least three attempts at nest building have finally constructed a nest and are incubating eggs. The photograph I would like to get is of the chicks on the backs of the adults, the problem is I am not sure when the eggs where laid. They are discoloured now so hatching must be soon, either way after dipping out on the Great Crested Grebe humbugs this year, it is now going to be a matter of regular checks on progress.
Photo dedicated to "Camo" Ian - I know you said you looked !! I did hear Specsavers have a deal on... just saying !
