Park Pond, two young dabchicks with one or two parents. Never saw the parents at the same time. Fishing & feeding the wee ones. About 10 metres along another adult & young one. Was surprised as I’ve not seen many about over the summer. Nesting in the space between Islands out of sight I guess?

Dabchick, nice :)
Impossible to count in the winter... this one goes down, one comes up over there, then one comes up near here but is it the same.... I have got *very cold* trying to do this :D

Little Grebe (ad breeding), S Cambs, July 2025
AKA Dabchick, this is our smallest grebe. I can honestly say I've never seen one in flight other than on short territorial patterings over the water surface. They move further only at night, due to their vulnerability in the air to predation. #Birds

Castle Howard Lakes.
49 species this morning @birdtrack.bsky.social including this South Lake & the Dairy Ponds.
5th record of 2026 for Common Sandpiper today.
Dabchick, Coot & Gadwall prefer to breed on the these smaller lakes rather than the Great Lake.

A yellow Carnival Dabchick badge has been reported from America as kept for a memento of village life.
Tony Gilligan ordered about 500 of these for the village carnival around 1970. Since finding the first yellow badge, I've heard of two more blue pin badges kept as mementos. Are there any other colours? Any more out there? How far has this Dabchick flown?

I should explain that 'Dabchick' is the proud nick-name claimed by natives of Aldbourne, Wiltshire. Representations of the Little Grebe appear as logos for village groups and The Aldbourne Band aldbournearchive.wordpress.com/2022/04/26/t...
