Great Crested Grebe / Fuut (Podiceps cristatus)

Great Crested Grebe / Fuut (Podiceps cristatus)
Stumbled upon this family yesterday. They're actually old friends of mine as I followed them a few years ago. I think they still know who I am as they were very comfortable with me being very close. Usually these Grebes are very skittish and will run if you even look at them! :)

I'm also using them for this weeks POTN: World Wide Photo Week theme, which is "look what I found."

And then there turned out to be not one but two chicks.
The parent tried to feed the fish to the little one, but I think it was too big and after countless attempts, he ate it himself. :)

Awwww! How sweet is that. The chicks look like itty-bitty zebras. How amazing that they ride along with mom and dad. 'Are we there yet dad?'
