This is one of a pair of Great Crested Grebes that reside in a canal not far from where I live. I followed the couple raise a family in 2010. Of three chicks only one made it to adulthood then. This week I went to see them again and I am delighted they are still there. They now have two chicks. One visible here in the image. While the other parent was busy fishing and providing for the little ones, this one was very sleepy... :)
