Stockers Lake Rickmansworth - Great Crested Grebe Feeding Young

Photos of a pair of Great Crested Grebes feeding their 2 young earlier this week
 
A young bird having difficulty swallowing....
 ......whilst this juvenile comes with a splash to be fed.

 
Adult with fish ready to be handed over....
 
.....and successfully  achieved.
 
I missed the actual handover which was done very quickly until I got this shot.
All taken over a 20 minute period with many more fish caught than I show in these photos.  It looks quite likely that these 2 juveniles will have a good start before they are left to feed for themselves.
