Great crested grebe courtship display, mating and nesting

"Hi Marcus, Sorry I updated my website and it broke the embed code unfortunately, doesn't look like I can edit this video to add different code either. You can see the sequence here…"

"Great capture and as a regular of the London Wetland Centre love the film you put together. Shame the Grebes were ousted by Coots shortly after this."

"I have suddenly gone an unflattering shade of green. I've been trying to film a sequence like this since 2002 to complete my "Grebes of Barham". I had to settle for a stills sequence. But thats another very long story!"

Hi Ben......The Hare footage was taken without an hide.First sight the Hare without them spotting you.Then you have to use all your fieldcraft to get near to them.At this time of the year they are more intrested in sex,and appear to drop their guard to a certain degree.Yesterday I obtained some nice stuff on these animals.I had five Hares around me,and because I was stood up against a hedge and kept still I had these animals within ten foot of me. I will put some of the footage on talkwildlife, you can judge for yourself
