More from the grebes
I don't know if the chicks always sit on the mothers back or whether they swap over between parents from time to time. Here you can see one of the adults offering a fish to the youngsters, but it looks a bit big to me and it took several attempts to get one of them to accept it. I noticed that before each time the parent offered the fish, it first dipped it in the water as if to help it go down.
