Juvenile great crested grebe UB2A5403

Stodmarsh, Kent.
It was with a parent and kicking up a bit of fuss about the lateness of lunch. Look at those feet!

They dive to feed and also to escape, preferring this to flying. On land they are clumsy because their feet are placed so far back on their bodies. They have an elaborate courtship display in which they rise out of the water and shake their heads. Very young grebes often ride on their parents' backs.
