Feeding the Kids.

In three days of watching the Grebes feed the baby’s I never saw a squabble over food. Papa would come to the nest and offer the morsel to one chick or another and one would take it. The Chicks inexperience was apparent, as the fish would slip out of their beak, sometimes flying high in the air. Papa would patiently pick it up and offer it again until the chick succeeded to eat it.

Hey Dad, where’s the chips?

You have such mastery of that camera Robert - this is simply wonderful - and it also has the 'Ahh' factor - those delightful little chicks!

If only all families got along so well together lol - they look so contented and mother looks proud.

No squabbling, but all eager. I love how your patience with the camera always manages to give us the insider's view. Well done, Robert!

National Geo material if you ask me. Does it get any better than this? Noooooooooooooooooo! Look at those precious babies. Lot of detail here. The tile is well chosen. It brings animal life into the human realm. Great capture.
