The weed dance ... a pair of Great Crested Grebes courting. They grab a piece of weed then present it to each other, they all do it when they are pairing up to mate ... what intrigues me is how did they learn to do it ... fascinating thing the natural world.

Hi Derek, I wouldn't worry too much as other members have posted images that were not their own on this thread. In fact this is the third time this image has been posted on here, Smiffy got in first with post #334

Up at Belvide Reservoir Pete, but that is members only access ... you will get them along the canals around here, there is a canal runs by Wombourne, worth a stroll along see what you can see. The ones at Belvide come up from the local canal. You need to keep your eyes peeled though Pete as they are bloody quick, and quite a small bird so can be a challenge to spot
-
Same here, I had 21 sightings a few weeks back, we saw three together on Saturday, good to see them they are a gorgeous bird

Shoveler and a Goldeneye and a Blue Missile
-
They can be like that, but 3 times in the last 6 years they have come to me, usually only around for a few days, once the berries are gone off our neighbours tree they move on. Best place to see them is supermarket carparks, as they tended to plant a lot of Sorbus (Mountain Ash) trees with the landscaping
-
Not seen any this year Steve. They usually go for the Mountain Ash across the road, a few years ago we had at least 30 of them perched on our roof
