Lovely
Thank you 😊
You’re welcome 😉
Hello Takami.
Lovely portrait of happy family. Thank You.
Have a good day!
Hello, Mr. Matti.
Thank you for visiting this bird family. They are 5 healthy babies 🙂
Our best wishes to you, and all your family too!
At one time in my life I delved into photography. I was even quite good for an amateur. But these, the picture of baby grebes, is spectacular! I hope to see even more, especially of families of young birds like this one. I bow to your photographic genius Takami san.
Hello Barbara-san,
Thank you very much for your generous comment!
I am twice happy you enjoyed this family of the baby little grebes. “Little grebes” are the smallest of the grebe water birds (adults grow to only 26cm in length), but they have resilient personalities.
I hope to share more photos of these and other bird families in the coming weeks 🙂
Best wishes,
Takami
Oh, here they are, all five of them 🙂 The nest is built just above the water, easy for the chicks to have their first swim 🙂 Fantastic photograph, Takami! What a joy to watch these little babies grow ❤
Hello Inese, thank you as always for your visit and comment ❤
It is as you say, the nest is built above the water, which stays afloat even during rains and typhoons and provides a nice "home base" for the babies 🙂 All 5 are doing well, and are now quite big! 😀
Such clever birds, make their nest the way it always stays afloat. I look forward to more photographs as the little chicks grow up. ❤
Love it!
Thank you! 🙂
Another lovely photo. It’s fascinating to see how unique each little one is already.
Thank you Carol. Yes, it is as you say, they all have different personalities. I could observe them all day, and never be bored 🙂
How absolutely endearing, Takami. So loved to see this family. Thank you!
Thank you Amy, means a lot ❤
I'm so happy that this Little Grebe family is being "liked" by so many folks. They are amazing little water birds.
That is a really sweet picture. I like it a lot.
Thank you, rabirius.
I appreciate it, and very happy these “little grebe” babies have received positive feedback 🙂
It is so satisfying to get a longer-term perspective of this beautiful bird family, Takami. Thank you for keeping us up to date with their development! 😊
Hello Tanja,
Thank you for your continued interest in this Little Grebe family!
Truthfully, I could make 100 posts focusing on “just” this one family, but I always worry it may become redundant to those who patiently view my blog 🙂 I will continue to share updates on these birds 😀
I, at least, will never grow tired of learning about the fate of this grebe family, Takami. Thank you, and all the best,
Tanja
They are adorable, Takami.
Thank you so much Jolandi ❤
They are taking baby steps towards a bigger world… 🙂
What a cute family!
Thank you! Yes, they are very cute birds 🙂
Amazing, absolutely amazing.. !
Thank you!
“Little Grebes” are amazing little water birds 🙂
Beautiful photo 🙂
How adorable they are!
Beautiful image to start my Friday morning off with, thanks Takami!
Hello Dries,
Good day, from Japan! Thank you for your visit and comment. I am happy this “Little Grebe” family made a nice start to your Friday morning 🙂 Your site always brightens my day, so it’s a real pleasure to know if some of my images can do the same.
Wishing you and your family a lovely day and weekend ahead!
And to you and yours, kind, warm-hearted, generous Takami!
Many thanks again! We appreciate it 🙂 🙂
Really beautiful!
Thank you very much!
Much respect to Mama & Papa Bird, and to all parents 🙂
😊
They look like they’re ready and you have memorialized their journey into the larger world!
Thank you for liking this little grebe family!
They still have quite a ways to go (to my human eyes), but Papa and Mama Grebe are wonderful parents. Much respect to all parents 🙂
かわいいだね！！！😍😍😍
ありがとうございます。
So beautiful.
Thank you!
My pleasure.
Adorable, feel like one of them ;o)
Thank you! I feel the same as you 😉 😀
Are these the same babies? Have a great day.
Yes, they are the same “little grebe” babies. They are growing up into beautiful birds 🙂
Have a great weekend
excellent photo as always.
I don’t understand though why they are complaining, they are in a photo taken by a maestro.
Thank you very much! 🙂
These “Little grebe” babies were very active and demanding of their parents 😉
a wunderful picture.
ありがとうございます！
Vielen Dank!
Another precious masterpiece. Love it!
Thank you very much. It’s greatly appreciated. I’m happy this Little grebe family continues to bring smiles.
How wonderful and sweet. You bring beauty and the wonder of nature into all of our lives.
Thank you very much. I am thankful to nature and these beautiful birds, for allowing me a moment to admire them, and give a glimmer of hope.
So precious, Takami! Awwwww…..the one trying to stretch/flap his tiny little wings, while the other watches is adorable!! May they go safely to grow into beautiful adult Grebes! ❤
Thank you Donna! I also could not help but smile at the little one flapping his wings. In my human eyes, the “sibling dynamic” was also adorable 😀 I am happy to say, all 5 are doing well. I too, hope they will continue to stay safe!
Googleに感謝します。これは素敵な小さな家族です…おめでとう、美しい写真。 Quarc P. S。：あなたが男性であるか女性であるか、そしてあなたが日本に住んでいるかどうか、あなたは私に言わなかった。
