Salhouse Broad - Grebe Carrying Out Household Maintenance 1 year 22 weeks ago

After sitting still for a while watching a female grebe sitting lazily on her nest, Adam spotted the male swimming home (from the left).

I suspect she probably started off with a fair gaggle but, due to pike in the river, it’s not unusual to find the numbers slowly dwindling over the weeks. Let’s hope this pair live a long and happy life
