Courting Cormarants and Gifting Grebes

 A few weeks ago we went back to the lake where we often see herons, cormarants and grebes. The first thing we saw was a wild rabbit. It was near its burrow which was on the edge of a railway. 

We also saw the usual tufted ducks and geese. 

After that we saw a mating pair of grebes. When grebes mat they will give each other a gift, usually a piece of weed or sometimes even plastic.

Like the last time at the lake, we saw a cormarant perched on the same branch. Click here to see the last time we got saw a cormarant on the lake. 

After walking around the lake again we saw another cormarant perched with the first one. One of them had a bit of white around their head, indicating it is ready to breed.

That is all for today's post. That wasn't everything we saw at the lake so a second part of this post is coming soon. Remember to leave a comment and thanks for reading!
