Odd behaviour - explained
On a few visits to the marsh recently I have noticed what appeared odd behaviour from the Little Grebes.
Only one of the pair would be visible at any one time and they would fish for a while and eat any large Sticklebacks they had caught but as soon as they had a very small fish, they would steam of at speed behind the island in front of the hide.
I suspect they have nested and are now starting to feed their young.
Great if this is the case since as far as Jim D knows, they have not nested here on previous years.
