The Nuthatches were visible this time high up in their hole in the tree. Backwards and forwards and, I think, still nest building.
And there are at least three, and possible 4, Great Crested Grebes. This one was on the same nest and didn't get up or leave the whole time I was watching. There were definitely two others around the other side of the lake and a couple of people who stood to watch the Nuthatches with me, said they had just seen the other two. Also I think I saw a fourth coming around to the nesting bird. But I didn't see two together near the nest at any time.
The Grebe didn't even leave her nest when a couple of Greylag Geese had a bit of an argument almost on top of the nest!
And that's it for today. Back home just about lunch time when....... the sun came out!! Hey ho :)

Poor old Grebe!
Classic pose of the Nuthatch in the second Tricia.
Sun came out when I got home today. Typical!
Good pictures on the Nuthatch,and G C Grebe. Poor thing, you give the Greylag Goose a good ticking off.
I wonder how the turtle survived over the winter, because is the red eared, tropical specie.I just lost mine in the garden and I dont see how she will manage.
I really like the photos of the "argument". Love the way you captured the splashing water.
