Western Grebes display spectacular courtship ceremonies. ❤️ During this intricate dance, the pair perform a specific set of behaviours in sequence with amazing precision and synchronicity. During the "rushing ceremony", the pair rise up in the water onto their feet and simultaneously run long distances across the surface of the water. The display dramatically concludes with a sudden dive. Clip of Grebes displaying part of their mating ritual, "rushing" — BBC One, Nature's Greatest Dancers | Wild

The courtship dance! 💃 Right now, great-crested grebes are getting ready to breed with their spectacular courtship dance! This usually involves calling, synchronised swimming, preening, fanning out their feathery ruffs, head shaking, and finally 'the weed dance' — which is where the pair hold tufts of water weed in their bills and paddle furiously to stay upright, chest-to-chest. It might sound like a lot of hard work, but it's incredible to watch! 💚 #SomersetWT #Somerset #Birds | Somerset Wil

Enjoy the Great Crested Grebe mating dance, a waltz on water ❤️ The male and female move through behaviours dubbed neck-stretching, bob-shaking, and weed-diving, before coming to the astonishing weed-dancing, in which male and female face each other with aquatic vegetation in the bill and rise up vertically, their feet in constant motion, necks extended and bills rising upward, and then begin spiral movements around one another, their bills gracefully turning as they pivot around their partner.

These hooded grebes sure know how to dance! While this might look silly, these grebes are performing a vitally important courtship ritual. This serves more than one purpose, both to cement the alliance between the pair for the upcoming breeding season and to carve out some space on the pond to raise their future family. Grebes are fairly common water birds found in most parts of the world, so if you grab a pair of binoculars, you might just see this incredible dance display for yourself. Video C
