A drive to Killingworth to hopefully see the Great Crested Grebes doing a courtship “weed” dance. There were quite a few pairs on the lake but unfortunately, we didn’t see the “weed” dance however, we did see them displaying and nest building. Other birds of note were Goldeneye and Pochard.
Great Crested Grebe.
As I said there were a few different pairs, these two
were displaying.
I thought I was going to be in luck and see the “weed”
dance but the weeds were dropped before the display.
And these are a different pair.
Nest building.
Goldeneye.
Pochard.
Coots having a battle. Two on to one hardly seems
fair.
