I’ve never seen this bird before. I encountered it when the bird was trying to catch a fish. The bird shot three fishes in about 20 minutes. September 24, 2021, at Oppe River, Kubo weir, Moroyama, Saitama, Japan

Hatching scene of little grebe
Egg-laying ⇒ appearance of a crack in the shell ⇒ hatching
This video is a series of scenes that an egg laid on August 6, 2021 hatched on August 28. The egg cracked and finally the parent bird removed the egg membrane and the egg cracked and the chick hatched. The little grebes begin to warm their eggs immediately after laying them. They lay one egg a day for several days. Then they hatch one per day.
