Red-necked Grebes Reinforcing Their Nest

This pair of grebes were building up their nest in the harbour.

My boyfriend and I went to Bronte Harbour to take photos of the boats and see some cliff swallows, but were surprised to see red-necked grebes building nests and incubating eggs! This was the first time I had seen this bird, and I’m glad to see her with her chicks-to-be!
