NO! WE ARE NOT BEING SPOILED!!

Just had to go back to the lake after yesterday's last hatching. The parents carry the new born chicks while the other produces food. SPOILED..NO WAY!!

The great crested grebe has an elaborate mating display. Like all grebes, it nests on the water's edge, since its legs are set relatively far back and it is thus unable to walk very well. Usually two eggs are laid, and the fluffy, striped young grebes are often carried on the adult's back. In a clutch of two or more hatchlings, male and female grebes will each identify their 'favourites', which they alone will care for and teach.
