Black-necked Grebe Podiceps nigricollis

In spring male and female Black-necked Grebe fish together, often in groups
consisting of pairs. They usually dive and come up together. However sometimes
things go wrong and one partner comes up just after the other went down. When
the male is the one up and does not see his female instantly, the worried male
starts crying loudly for. When he discovers his lost love he races towards her.
They then re-affirm and celebrate their bond with a short dance before going to fish again.
