When I saw and heard a Pied-billed grebe displaying I went to the side of the pond to hopefully catch some action...I had know Idea a battle would ensue between two males over a lovely female, I'm not sure if one was 'defending his rights' or not but it was a pretty exciting minute and something I've never seen before!
