    I'm presuming this is a male Great Crested Grebe, as not far away was what I presume was the female on a nest. Right out in the open too!!

    Does it look different?

    This Great Crested Grebe looks very like 'our' one, but this is the Australian subspecies P.c. australia. He certainly seemed to come much closer to me than the ones in Perthshire do - they always seem to be miles away LOL

    We moved on to Lintrathen Loch and the star of the show for me there that day was a nice close Great Crested Grebe. I've seen them there many times (and at Loch of the Lowes too), but they always seemed to be right on the edge of too far for my previous cameras. This one came well within range...

    I don't often get pictures of Great Crested Grebe, at least not good ones, but this guy was a little closer than normal. He'd caught a huuuge fish and seemed to be having trouble swallowing it, but it disappeared eventually. Anyone able to ID it? Saturday Fun
