Grebe Dance Homepage Video

The courtship dance of the Great Crested Grebe is one of the most beautiful in the world of birds. During the courtship period, when the pair of the grebes are in the water, facing each other, they shake their heads from side to side and then dive to the bottom of the lake to collect weeds, come out of the water and swim towards each other and then this beautiful thing happens - the courtship dance, like what appears to be floating in the air of both of them.
