I went back to the grebes fully expecting to see eggs and even a chick or two. I strongly suspect a lot of the nests had been flooded and the the mating/courtship had started all over again.
Shame about the branches obscuring the female's head... but that's nature, I have several similar shots, all with the head obscured, and it was just the same when I found another pair on another nest. I guess I will just have to go back and try again.
