Great Crested Grebe Display

[Fournier]

I found a pair of great crested grebes on a nearby lake. Does anyone know what sort of time I'll be likely to catch them displaying?

The couple on our local reserve have been displaying for a couple of weeks now, head shaking and weed passing. Each to their own I suppose...................Jon

I was watching a pair displaying at Brandon Marsh on Sunday.

I've been lucky enough to see grebes courting at Croxall Lakes and Branston Water Park over the last few weeks.

Head shaking and weed passing - we are referring to grebes and not students then?

most of the birds are now waders and the locals swear they can hear the bell ringing at night
