Another of the grebe only this time I couldn t get the low pov like I did on my other images because he decided to fish where the long grass was so I couldn t get the view I wanted.I could'nt believe the size of the fish he kept catching and where he was putting them,he must have eaten 15 fish why I was there so god knows how many he had in a day.

Canon 50D,Canon 500f4L + 1.4 convertor,ISO 200,f5.6,1/1600

It's a very nice shot Karen, I just wish it had been closer to where I live, because I would have deffinately made the trip to capture some images of this super bird.

I can remember dissecting cysts on the livers of perch caught at Lake Bala, and watching tape worms wriggling out, whilst doing a course on parasitology at the University of Liverpool. One of the
risks of eating whole raw fish is getting more than you bargain for in its consumption. :eek:
A superb image expertly taken.
