World Bird Wednesday - Trouble in Paradise

I have shown you my precious resident little grebes before

but now I am devastated . . . They have been raising little

families in the dam in our park for over 10 years but . . .

there is only one in their home dam, has there been a marriage

breakdown? has he a lady on the side, is she just bored with him?

Here she is, seemingly happy not to have to cook for two or

more and wash his socks . . . at last she has time to read a book

and indulge in a few hobbies . . .

You may not easily see him even when you enlarge the dam

at the end of our WILD WOOD but if you look ( possibly

with a jeweller's eye glass) in the far distance near the trees,

there is a little black dot. Yes, that is himself sulking or skulking

or maybe just waiting for the viagra he ordered so he can

resume his fathering duties.

I am at a stand, is the separation permanent, should I hire lawyers

for both or maybe some counselling is called for.

I do hope some of you who have been birding for a long time and

have oodles of experience will be able to advise me . . . I wait in

hope with bated breath . . .
