An exciting travel day on December 30th, changing plans to come back to Wellington early. https://patricklam.ca/post/20221231-leaving-wanaka/ #TravelLogistics #GrebeDrama #NZBirds

Empty nest with two grebes hanging out = grebe chicks! #GrebeDrama #BirdsNZ #birds

@spqchan more #GrebeDrama! Different nest. The defending grebe here eventually got pushed out along with an egg. Was it actually an intruder? Or was it evicted? Or was it a domestic dispute? There were probably other eggs in the nest though. The evicted grebe didn't seem to have a partner and was just hanging out elsewhere afterwards.

Some #GrebeDrama this morning. Defend the nest against two pairs who want in! No chicks yet.
