Little Grebes, カイツブリ some more

Some days later, the family is doing well. We had a lot of rain and the parents are busy keeping the nest in a good condition. The nest of the first family was soon washed out, once they didn't need it anymore. There are still 4 babies - the Falcon must have chosen a different menu for lunch. Not only the chicks are growing, the water plants do so as well. In a week time we might not see any birds anymore

A whole fish! Can he/she eat that?

Trying to catch a dragonfly drinking water in flight - I need more practice!
