	Pair adding material to a nest and appear to be sitting. The first serious nesting attempt by Great Crested Grebe here since 2016 when two chicks hatched but survived just a few days. Hopefully a more positive outcome this time.

11:00	Flock of four birds flying around the marsh looking like they wanted to land on a Tern raft. Instead they opted for a branch just above the water below the Fitter Hide. Two more were at the far end of the lake. The four were still on the same branch in the rain when I returned at 1230 but when it stopped flew to the old raft. Surprisingly they were completely ignored by the breeding terns.
