GoPro Hero4 - Cute Little Grebe walks on water!

- Our friend, the little grebe, goes back to the wild!
This gorgeous little grebe has won the hearts of everybody at the centre! We rarely see these amber-listed birds (vulnerable species), so we took good care of him. He had a parasite infection in his gut, so he stayed with us for a few days for treatment.
On the day of his release, he was very eager (and very quick) to get back on the lake, probably to take a bath and dive for fish!
Watch until the end the see the slow motion captured by the GoPro Hero 4 at 120 frames per second.

I could hear his 'Wheeeeeeeeeee!' as he scooted away over the water!
Awwwwww man. I want those feet :(
They are fascinating. :)
Thank you for being so kind and compassionate.
Thanks Juhi, and you are right, those are some seriously awesome feet :)
I wish I had those. :)
Stay blessed you all. Loads of love.
If you like those feet, google on images for coot feet! They're amazing and beautiful,too.

Yeah, gotta love coots, and they are such feisty little birds too :)
Cambridge RatMom I just googled it.
Whooaaaaaaaa. I hate my feet now :D
Nature is beautiful. Thank you.
That one made me smile, just like all your videos. Good work!
Bigfoot sighting! ;-))

We found a loon in our yard and his feet looked just like this. we could not help but fall in love with him. especially with his feet, they looked like he had big leafs for feet.
awww sooo cute and weird all at the same time
How sweet home 🏡 💕
I love Grebes, these birds have always been my favorite water bird.
They certainly are a pretty cute bird, gotta love those feet :)
Wildlife Aid
Yes, the feet are very unusual and they look like leaves.
So cute
Releases have to be the best thing about the whole thing.
Yep!
Very nice!
we got these guys living in the park, it's very funny specially during summer when all the lilly pads are out to just watch them walk over the lillypads
Good work😉
Beautiful.
Really cool!
So cute =3

Loving the go pro videos
Those feet look so strange, almost remind you of some gecko species.
❤️
Seriously....who dislikes this???? Seriously!!!!!
If they want to thumbs down it, then let them, it's their right after all, it's just a shame they don't have the guts to say why, so we can try and answer their concerns.
Wildlife Aid They probably did it because it was much too short a clip! It wasn't even a minute long, after all. ;) Many of us could watch you guys work for hours!
Aaaw
Will one so young survive alright on it's own?
I'm sure they know what they're doing and would only have released him if he's ready to be on his own.
_"Non-waterfowl feed their young via regurgitation, however, ducks and geese do not. The children are born knowing how to 'dabble' or just dive under and eat whatever root or plant is under the water."_

The clue is in his name, he's a 'little grebe' he's an adult in his winter plumage, and was just a little weak from his migration to the UK, when numbers increase from 4000 breeding pairs to upwards of 17,000 birds, so hopefully he has a great chance of finding a mate when he is over here :)

nameofthepen thanks Its just that it seemed small and I'm not familiar with that species. :)
Anangke - That's exactly what I thought at first, too. He was definitely a wee mite. :D
