Eared Grebe (also known as the Black-necked Grebe) carrying its chick on its back. The chicks of this species often hitch rides on the parent's back until they are old enough to swim on their own.
I don't know exactly when Diamond left the Grebe in the nestbox, but Gimbir spent over an hour consuming it. Diamond's "chup chup" on her return to a feathered nest and a couple of scraps is a highlight. #OrangeNSW#PeregrineFalcons
