User's notes
There were two of these Grebes feeding in different parts of the Murrumbidgee River. They were both swimming with the flow of the river, occasionally placing their heads underwater. I came acrosss one of them when it popped up after diving near the bank of the river where I was standing. When it noticed me it took off across the river in running flight along the surface of the water.
