Had great fun yesterday at Tittesworth Reservoir watching these G C Grebe juveniles, sometimes on mum's back and sometimes swimming freely. They were a fair distance away but luckily I had my spotting scope through which I took these pics.

Thanks for sharing. Whilst I know they do it, I've never seen juvenile grebes on their parents' backs. Recently seen a couple of young ones at a lake nearby but they were a bit older than these.

Glad you had a good day

Super pics!!!
I always think they look like little humbugs!!
We enjoy a trip to Tittesworth too.....did you get to the hides across the road??

Thanks for the comments. The pics were taken from the West hide at Tittesworth. I was very pleased with the quality as they were digiscoped. There were a pair of Little Egrets during the last few weeks but didn't see them on this last visit.
