Great Crested Grebe & Chick

[mufftrix]

After 2 previous unsuccessful nesting attempts the fist destroyed by coots nesting nearby and the second the eggs disappeared in unknown circumstances, the third seemed to be going well but unfortunately only one egg hatched out of the 3 or 4 they were sitting on

At least this little one will get all the attention and food so hopefully will be safe now they out on the water
