I’ve another mid-week time-line cleanser for you today, this time a couple of Little grebe photographs (sorry they’re not the best images but I hope they’ll produce a smile). The more I watch these cute little fluffy bottomed birds, the more they make me laugh. I caught this first one mid shake so its fluffed out feathers make it look like it’s eaten a lake’s-worth of insects.

And, on my next visit to this same lake, a pair of Little grebes was again close enough to the shore for reasonable photos and some quality grebe watching. I’m not sure what this guy thought it was doing – morning exercises, perhaps?
