I never saw such an energetic bird, there was a cold snap yesterday which was reflected in their humour.... one male chasing another very quickly across the water, they do a very interesting water skimming thing, like a little speed boat, then immediately diving and continuing the chase underwater, then back on the surface and off again.

Very nice little creature, but quite cautious of humans
