Mean Grebe parent

[joe]

Taken Fri afternoon at Lavell's.
The youngster would not dive and catch one himself. I could hear the pleas

[ladylouise62]

LOL - it's amazing how long they try to cadge food rather than catch it

[rolf]

Yep, a clear message to get one yourself.

[ladylouise62]

I wish more human parents would act like this - we might have a harder-working society!

[Chocky]

Maybe they eat the catch and then feed the baby from it's throat. Some birds feed their young this way.

Nice captures BTW

Grebes usually feed the youngsters whole fish but the youngsters do try it on when they are the size of this one.
