This bird, probably a well-grown chick, was one of a family of great created grebes on a large pool by the Marsh lane LNR in Hampton in Arden, Solihull.
This pair were on Swan Pool, Sandwell Valley, a week or so later.
One of the same pair, which has just caught a fish.
The pair’s three young chicks. They are much younger than the bird in the first picture – perhaps a second brood.
