I followed up Benj's report of Great Crested Grebe on Lake Ginninderra at 0700 today and it was a case of the early birder getting the bird. Only saw one grebe while standing on the lakeshore retaining wall behind the H2O police building. It was preening in the water about 30 metres offshore. After five minutes, it turned its head through 180 degrees, burrowed its bill down into its dorsal plumage and appeared to visit the sandman. I looked unsuccessfully for the other grebe then had to leave as the grebe continued its somnolent bobbing out on the water bed.
