Dipping on the crake – AGAIN

March 20, 2015 by Jade Craven Leave a Comment

These are a series of photos I took on March 4, when my granddad was first admitted to hospital. It has been a busy couple of weeks since then so I don’t remember any of my other observations for the day.

This post will be mostly picture based but I thought the grebe behaviour was different. The mum grebe was diving for fish to feed the current juvenile. The juvenile from its first clutch would seek food from mum, only or her to chase it away. I didn’t see the crake but I did see two pacific gulls when I went to Limeburners point afterwards.

Lovely day. Keen to explore the botanical gardens now that interesting birds are starting to return. Only female pink robins though for some reason?
