The first grebe to lay eggs in Inokashira Park, Tokyo, faced a series of challenges. Despite successfully building a nest, mating, laying eggs, and incubating them, the nest was washed away along with the eggs just before hatching. The month-long efforts of the parent birds went in vain. However, the pair quickly began building a new nest in another location and successfully raised three chicks.
This video showcases the struggles and efforts of grebe parenting.
