It was diving and swimming alongside its parents, making lots of noise between dives. The parents would feed it. After a while, they went back to the nest. One parent climbed on, and the baby rested and groomed nearby.
The parent called a couple of times.
After a while, the other parent came back. They both added some material to the nest. Then they ducked under a willow branch and sang a duet. The baby stayed put.
What are they up to? Another clutch? It seems a little late in the year.
