Two little grebes between Wildside Centre and Water Bridge

Little grebe

Two little grebes on adjacent stretches of the canal between the Wildside Centre and the Water Bridge.

One is a mature bird, the one still in summery plumage. The other is possibly a juvenile.

This latter bird seems to be more successful in its fishing, catching something every time it dives. It is also fiercely protective of its territory when the older bird encroaches.
