The east pair of Red-necked Grebes nesting in Bronte Outer Harbour now have four chicks and four eggs. Shift change is the best time to get a count as four chicks can do a remarkable job of hiding under the wings of a parent. The last two shift changes that I have seen involved an adult practically walking up the back of the sitting adult to convince the mate that it is time to switch.
Incubation continues on the west nest.
From the QEW exit at Bronte Road and go to the lake then turn left. The nests are on either side of the striped-roofed picnic dock.
