Australasian Grebe

The only photograph and a bad one. When approached, Australasian Grebes usually dive under water!

Took a while to identify this one. The yellow patch of skin at the base of the bill helped :) He looks like he's wearing a tutu!

It looks like a cross between a hamster and a chicken. It gave a good side pose while swimming away.

Heehee, Modroom is upset, she has a slight cold at the moment Ces :) We are like a gaggle of geese sometimes :)

Don't be rude MerlinPrincesse. Modroom might not have had the same upbringing but she does have an 'unusual' grace ...

Oh dear. She has flown off. I will also mention Modroom can be sensitive about her beak heehee.
