As written up in the BLSH Flyer Australasian Grebes successfully bred in Summer 2018. Unfortunately one adult was killed the day after the birth of 3 chicks but here is a photo of the surviving birds on Christmas Day

This photo, with the chicks and the reflections on the water is really lovely, thank you.
