An update on past posts following the Great Crested Grebes family on a local lake. The chicks are growing well and all four have survived. They remain close to their parents but are fishing independently. The group comes together but a lot of the time 2 chicks stay with each parent bird.




The chicks are about the same size as the adult birds but remain in their humbug juvenile plumage.










Great shots Andy!
They have such weird coloured eyes!
