Western Grebe is Swimming with Her Young Ones on Her Back



It happened and I almost missed it. Today I came again to see what is going on in the nest but to my surprise it was abandoned. There were no eggs in the nest and no female Western Grebe around.  Later I spotted the female Grebe swimming with her young ones on her back. 

I am not sure is this the same female Grebe I was watching for three weeks or another one but I was so happy to see the whole family, mother, father and babies.






Sometimes the female Grebe was covering her babies with her feathers and they became invisible.






So cozy, so warm and secure to be on the mother's back.

  3. Young people are still pampered. A beautiful moment in the life of the fauna.

  4. Solo se ve su pequeña cabeza y ya con eso es una imagen muy tierna, que dice mucho del cuidado de los animales respecto a sus crías.

    Besos

  5. No importa si es la misma Colimbo o no, has conseguido una serie de imágenes enternecedoras. La mama Colimbo pasea orgullosa a sus polluelos.
    Un abrazo y cuidate.
