Looking Around - 30/31
Australasian Grebe (Tachybaptus novaehollandiae)
For October A Month In 31 Pictures
Flickr mate David ( www.flickr.com/photos/birdsaspoetry/ ) tipped me off yesterday afternoon that two of the Grebe chicks had hatched at the Vic Uni Pond. So I reorganised my day a little so I could have a looksee.
When I arrived all was quiet with one parent on the nest and the other at the far end of the pond in the reeds. I could see movement under the wings of the one on the nest where the chicks were. Then came the chatter between the parents and the other parent returned with food for the chicks. This chick came out first for a meal.
