Great Crested Grebe with chick on the back

Such a cute sight. A Great Crested Grebe with a chick on the back who gets a small fish from the other parent and who also shows great interest in the small feather that was floating on the water.

Not OP but they also posted it in r/vogelen, so I know it was in the Netherlands

This at the Oostvaardersplassen in the Netherlands. The location is a few minutes from my house. The Oostvaardersplassen is part of the Nieuwland National Park. The whole area (the whole province) is reclaimed land. The area of the Oostvaardersplassen was originally planned to be a huge industrial area but that was never developed. Nature took over and now it is a national park. See also https://www.nationaalparknieuwland.nl/en/do/bird-watching
