Fresh fish for dinner

Spotted this Great crested grebe catching a fish in the lake at the park today. There's a nest nearby so hopefully there will be some little great crested grebes soon!

Fabulous! Love the fish in his mouth and the water drops on those tail feathers.

Excellent focus and a great capture! fav

Great capture!

[KWind]

Well timed shot!

My favourite part are all those splash-rings on the water.

the water with the rain falling is a great background for this lovely capture of the grebe...nice shot!

Great capture!

Great catch

[Babs]

Excellent, what a great catch. Love the ripples on the water too.

[Mark Prince]

Fabulous shot. Nicely caught, and I mean by the photographer not the bird. Certainly not an easy bird to photograph as nicely as this.
I was out the other day trying to get a nice shot of Little Grebes, when suddenly from under water appeared one of these, about four feet away. He was so close that I got a wonderful shot, of his back. His neck and head well out of shot.

Super timing... Nice "catch!" ;)

[Shari]

Great capture.

[Sarah Munnings]

Fab, so hard to get close to a grebe and one with a fish as well. As many others have said the rain drops really add to this

[John]

Great composition with the ripples in the water!

[Mike]

Lovely shooting! fav

[Catherine P]

[Margaret Brown]

Super capture, fav

[Paula W]
