14:07:43 - Juvenile looks into the water, but in my 30 minute observation it dives only twice.

14:09:41 - Parent dives and remains underwater for up to 30 seconds.

14:09:42 - On re-surfacing, parent runs away, making chick chase for its food.

14:17:01 - Stretching. It's a tough life waiting for food.

14:23:52 - Parent loses temper three times in 30 minutes, chasing the bone-idle juvenile, nipping it lightly on the neck, if it manages to catch the chick.

14:36:29 - Approximate age is eight to ten weeks old.

14:36:48 - Just before diving, bird squeezes air out of its feathers, to reduce bird's buoyancy.
