User's notes

Their first attempt must have failed. The first nest site along the shore line (sighting https://canberra.naturemapr.org/sightings/4343740) is now under water. They have built a second nest further out in the pond.

Returned on 9 October. Breeding seems to have failed. Only sighted one Grebe. No sign of the nest, the mate or any chicks.
