A question about Grebes. while I don't have a huge amount of bird watching experience, I have never, ever, seen a Grebe that wasn't on, or under, water. Surely they come out onto land occasionally, and they must fly. Have I just been unobservant or unlucky, or do Grebes spend 99.9% of their time on the water?
As an aside, I know of a small lake with four Grebes on it at most times. It's also the same lake where my triathlon club trains. I have been disappointed not to have had any close encounters with them while swimming yet. I think they seem to know about bi-weekly human invasions of their territory and stay clear.
