Horned Grebe vs Eurasian Coot

This day I witnessed a fight over territory between a Coot and a Horned Grebe pair. It was quite intense but no one was injured. And the winner is ...... the Horned Grebe.
Today I only saw one Grebe so the other is probably laying on egg.

It does not look great with all the green stuff, algae, on the water surface. But the birds don´t really seem to mind it.

The Common Moorhen family share the same area with a Eurasian Coot family. As soon as the last of the Moorhen hatchling was hatched there was trouble between the two adults of both species. But it did not seem like anybody was hurt though.

Water fowl Good and bad

The two on the image is not the same family. The Ad probably thought the baby got too close and chased it away. As you can see the Ad bites the baby around the neck. It came out unharmed though. This might be the same Ad individual that robbed the nest of Black-headed gulls two weeks ago. Is it bad behaviour of one individual or is it common among Coots? I have never seen it bfore.
Rörhöna - Gallinula chloropus - Common Moorhen
This one never comes close enough for a decent shot. I have only seen one but there is probably two. Have not seen any chicks yet. 
Knipa - Bucephala clangula - Common Goldeneye
A beautiful family, isn´t it?

This was not fun to watch. The Coot raided the nest of the Gulls and it was not popular. The two species both has nests about 3m apart from one another. But this seems to show the Coot feasting on the Gulls eggs. And the gulls can co nothing about it. In the third image you can see how the Coot seem to try to clean itself from remaining egg residues on it´s head.

A few ones today

Svartvit flugsnappare- Ficedula hypoleuca - Pied Flycatcher
They have finally arrived and are looking for a home.
Fisktärna - Sterna hirundo - Common Tern
It was low pressure and drizzling so all terns and gulls chased at the water surface
Sothöna - Fulica atra - Eurasian Coot
That is quite a nest she has created. It is the first time I have seen the Coot with such a visible nest. And there is another one also that has the nest a Horned Grebe used last year.
Rörhöna - Gallinula chloropus - Common Moorhen
The moorhen is shy and hard to spot. But today I was lucky. This one I have seen before and it probably has a mate and nest. Today I also spotted one on the other side of the road so maybe there are two couples. Now I´m looking forward to see chicks. :)

Finally life is thriving in the little pond. Now it is an exciting time to see how many couple will have young and how many will survive. Today I spotted three families of Horned Grebe and one family each of the two others. And a few gulls of course.

Lets Dance!
The new arrivals did not waste any time. I came to the little wetland and saw them chasing and challenging each other. Mating games I guess. Serious business for them, lots of fun for me. :)
