.....but without the weeds. We watched this pair of great crested grebes engaging in the courtship ritual in various parts of the lake at Blashford for around an hour yesterday and preceeding each display the male dived and came up with a beakfull of weed but in each case dropped it before he got to the female. At one point she must have got fed up with this as she climbed out of the water, lie down and went to sleep
It was quite amusing to watch the male keep coming over to her to try and grab her attention with a mouthful of weed.
