No sign of the youngsters, but the feeding behaviour was strange.
Instead of diving, this bird swam on the surface and probed around with the beak without diving. I don't know if this is normal, or if there is a youngster safely under those feathers.

Mind you if there's a chick under here they're holding on tight during this washing session !
