Hi Michael

From about 3.30pm I had extended but fairly distant views of this fast swimming slightly nervous looking bird. It was interesting to see the crest horns raised – I had not expected that. The bird seemed to be preening in the water at times, so perhaps it is moulting?

For a moment I thought there were 2 birds present when a Little Pied Cormorant popped up next to the Grebe, with similar length of neck in the water.

Many thanks, and especially as I have not seen a Great Crested Grebe before!

Jean

This morning 1 immat. on West Belconnen Pond. It tends to stay in the western half of the pond.
