Another day, another London park! This time I went to Regents Park where there is a very large lake and there are always lots of waterbirds.
One of my aims is to get a good photograph of a Great Crested Grebe. They seem to me to always be in the centre of the water and a great distance away. I try photographing them anyway, regardless, in the hope that something might turn out to be OK - or, at least, interesting. This time, for me, I got interesting! Three little stripey Grebelets are riding on the back of an adult.

There is also a Coot swimming behind the Great Crested Grebe, but I was not interested in it at all. I was thrilled to see the babies when I downloaded my photos onto the computer. At first, I thought there were 2 chicks having a piggy-back ride but, when I cropped the picture further, I realised that there were 3 little stripey heads.

To say I was thrilled is a bit of an understatement. Next time though, I would like the Grebe to swim nearer to the shore.
