    This juvenile caught a Stickleback and played with it for a while before swallowing it, softening up the spines I guess

    Too ambituous?

    Everyone likes a trier but in this case this was too much for the grebe, tried and tried to swallow the carp but gave up in the end.

    Canal grebe

    This is one of the better results of my winter training with my FZ20. Beautiful birds, they suffer from the 'starling effect' in Holland: they're so common nobody notices them any more!

    Grebe and chick

    Another of the grebe and its chick. They came very close to the bank for a good few minutes so, be warned, I got quite a few shots of these two.
  23. A touching moment...

    A touching moment...

    I took a stroll around Hyde Park late evening earlier this summer and came across these grebes. The light was very difficult to work with but I am quite pleased with some of the results.
