8:05 I think a little bit of fight / out of view.
a Duck comes to close and is chased away by the Grebe.
The Grebe first dives underwater and then chases the Duck.

11.28am - loaded up with the chicks, the parent left the nest and has not been back since (now it's 13.14 pm). the last egg has been left behind - perhaps it wasn't viable... I wonder if that's the end of what we will see

1.39 am the couple - i think... perhaps just one grebe? - came to the nest. one settled on the nest.
EDIT: could this be a different couple? yes! a pair of ducks
02.32 both on the nest
with a bit more light i can see they are a pair of ducks
