I have concerns for the GC Grebe pair. Could only see 2 ads on E lake and 1 on W lake and no sign of young. Last time I saw them they were almost half the size of the ads so it would be a huge shame if they have been predated, esp as it was third time lucky to get beyond the egg stage. Last time they were swimming but still resorting to parent’s back on occasion. There were a few House- and Sand Martins over W lake this morning.
GC Grebe with 3 juveniles on West lake this morning. Reports of their demise greatly exaggerated.
🙂 yes, greatly relieved to see them today. Must have been hiding somewhere the last 2 days.
