Great Crested Grebe and chick - update

On my visit to Battersea Park yesterday, I was on the look-out for the Great Crested Grebes and chicks that I saw on a previous visit.

I found them - one Great Crested Grebe and one chick this time.  Yet again, they were in the centre of the lake and much too far away for any decent photographs.  Here they are, coasting around with a Coot and a sleepy Tufted drake behind them.  The chick is now much larger and looking almost grown up.

I hope that, next time, they might swim nearer to the shore.  I will have to plan to spend some time watching and waiting!
