Grebe behaviour

As I came to my local small dam (north eastern suburban Melbourne) when walking this afternoon, I saw the resident Australasian Grebe with it’s wings held up and out, and circling round and round in the water. The sun was out at the time, and I wondered if this was the grebe version of sunning, or was something else happening. Once it noticed me, it dropped and folded it’s wings, but then kept slightly lifting them up and down for a couple of minutes. Does anyone have any thoughts about this behaviour? ===============================
