My last entry for April and I've saved you something special. A video of Great Crested Grebes mating.!!
Great Created Grebe ( Podiceps cristatus) Only 42 pairs remained in England in 1860 due to the fashion of wearing feathers in hats. In 1891 the Society for the protection of Birds was formed and their numbers increased. The courtship display has been studied intensively and is famous for its elaborate postures and gestures. They nest in weeds by or in water. Laying 3-5 eggs. Feeds on small fish, mollusc's and vegetable matter.
The month ends with sunshine but the wind makes it colder than it looks.
