A visit to observe the Great Crested Grebe to see if her eggs had hatched. She was still sitting on them they had not. However, we were lucky that she decided to get off the nest turn around and get back on – and then slowly turn the eggs before sitting back down on them. Her wait continues.
Incubation begins as soon as the first egg is laid. The eggs hatch after 27 to 29 days. The young are cared for and fed by both parents. Young grebes are capable of swimming and diving almost at hatching. Our nest has 4 eggs.

Excellent photos! Perfect timing. I’m fascinated by that sort of bird behavior.

Wow – I’d be afraid she’d poke a hole in the egg with the long (almost lethal-looking) beak!
