Elegance Among The Reeds

 How are the pair of grebes getting on? Well, in answer to that question I went back to the lake to find out. However, this is scheduled quite far out in the future - it's April 2 at the time of writing this. That means that the grebes could have made further progress with the nest. And I already know about the terrapins on the lake, although we didn't see any today. Anyway, back to the grebes. They have made their nest and one of them is on it whilst the other finds reeds, weeds and twigs to make the nest. Here are some of the best photos:







We also now know that the eggs have been laid as when the grebe stood up you could see one.

I also wanted to get a few coot photos, so here are the best ones:





There was also an empty nest with hatched eggs that could have been a coot's.


We also saw three headless birds as well.

A headless swan:
A headless goose:

And a headless nuthatch:

Two for Joy:


I also got a few squirrel photos and a great tit.





We even saw a goldfinch, another new animal for the blog.
However, then my Mum called me over as she had just seen something. It was another new animal coming soon to the blog. I'll give you one clue about what it is - it's a mammal.

Stay tuned to find out what the animal we saw is. Remember to leave a comment and thanks for reading!
