Birds at Lazy Otter

It was good to see at least three Great Crested Grebes this morning and in particular the antiques of this one.   Its whole head was turned through 180 degrees so that the top of its head was resting, very briefly, on the surface of the water.   Not sure I'd seen that behaviour before, and given there didn't appear to be another Grebe to witness this as a display, I'm not sure what purpose it served!

There was also a couple of what I think must have been Skylarks in hot pursuit of one another.....

More signs that spring really is on its way - blackbirds were in full voice in the garden this morning. Your log of the year is taking shape.
Rare shot of skylark display, well done

I can only assume they were Skylarks.
