Text Appearing Before Image:
ugh platform madeout of wet flags, reeds, leaves, and differentsorts of plants, slightly hollow at the top,and never raised very high above the sur-face of the water in which it is built. The number of eggs laid varies from threeto five. These are white at first, but soonbecome stained and dirty, from contact withtheir owners feet and the decaying vege-tation upon which they rest. On leavingher nest the Great Crested Grebe covers hereggs carefully over with some of the materialsof the structure. This serves a twofold pur-pose. First of all it hides them from anywinged enemy, such as the carrion crow, flyingoverhead, and secondly it keeps them warm. Baby Grebes begin their education veryearly.
