Bad Hair Day
#1

These birdies certainly have a funny hairdo! Big Grin I think it's a great crested grebe, isn't it?

I wonder if these are the birds responsible for inspiring 'the mullet' hairdo? Big Grin

Normally they just swim and dive under the water and come up 10 yards or so, from where they went under. The bad hair do and kissing is mating rituals in spring. ( Greater crested grebe). See them a lot on the Norfolk(uk) Broads, the pregnant lump on the lower right hand side of the U.K.
