On the morning of 29th June 2025, I was fortunate to witness one of nature’s most enchanting displays at Ifield Mill Pond. The sight of a Great Crested Grebe family going about their daily routine was truly unforgettable.The adult grebe moved with graceful precision, diving into the water to catch fish, while the chicks clung to its back, riding along safely. Watching this intimate moment of parenting and survival in the wild was a reminder of just how extraordinary wildlife behavior can be.
I managed to capture some charming moments of the chicks peeking out from the adult’s back, as well as the precise instant when the grebe caught its prize for the day. Each scene felt like a small miracle, a fleeting glimpse into the natural world that often goes unnoticed.
Nature has a way of continually inspiring awe and wonder, and mornings like this at Ifield Mill Pond make me grateful for every moment spent behind the lens.
