No.... seriously?

What with that and my SOH disasters I think it might be time for me to log off ....
Good luck to all the baby grebe x

 Saw some when we were walking around Newmillerdam, Wakefield a couple of weeks ago. No more than I'd expect though. Rog |

That's certainly not a young grebe. We had a few delightful grebes on the River last year and their little ones were really super. like little zebra fowl. Scared of people because we used to kill them for the feathers to make Ascot hats. birds have small brains but they do know what's going on over time with humans. ETA showing my ignorance again  |

A dabchick/little grebe is not the young of a Great Crested Grebe ... they're a different bird @a
Or is it I getting confused ?
