    At last we arrived at the water and there was a most unusual Australasian Grebe. Just love the way the light had caught him, and pleased it worked out.

    In amongst the lilies

    It was such a pretty setting this little lake with the lilies coming into flower. An Australasian Grebe was swimming around amongst them.

    Exploring the Saw Pits road, we came to the dam and found an Australasian Grebe there. Why the preferred that one to the Back Dam I don't know LOL... guess there's a reason.

    The Australian version

    The Australasian Grebe is their version of our Dabchick. Just as cute too. They appear to be quite widespread, as I seemed to see them in a number of places (really not complaining about that!!!)

    Very similar to our Little Grebe, this is the Australasian version. Still just as cute, I think.

    Just finished digitizing some of my old cassettes - time-consuming and nostalgic!

  16. Little red eye

    Little red eye

    The Australian version of our Dabchick, but even smaller. We were now well into the swampy area, with overhanging trees, making for very dappled light... but rather pretty, I thought.
  17. The little one

    The little one

    Very similar to, but even smaller than the Little Grebe that we have in the UK. A lovely grebe this one, which doesn't seem to dive just because he sees a camera, unlike our wee Dabchicks LOL

    Another awkwardly lit species there, was this Australasian Grebe looking even more fluffy than normal LOL

    ... for those who were wondering why I called it the Lily Pond. A gorgeous Australasian Grebe and a pretty lily flower.... I was quite pleased with this picture really.
  20. I think..

    I think..

    ... this may be my best picture so far of any grebe species. We now got out to a part of the reserve named Saw Pits a rather large area of water, but I'm not sure how it got that name. Water is a big draw for creatures anywhere, but particularly in periods of drought in such an arid area anyway.

    Seen more often than not while diving .

    Oh so like our Little Grebe.... and I do love them. On the first of the lakes in amongst the lily pads.

    The Australasian Grebe is so similar to our own Little Grebe. Gorgeous wee grebes these. I rather liked the colours and patterns on the water too.
