Nice one Phil. Lovely rich colours and the fish (and bird, of course) are very crisp and clearly defined against the green coloured backdrop.

Now that is a Grebe shot, brilliant Phil. Might have said lower, but then the reflection would be missed, a nice touch.

You've captured a great moment here. Great detail and a nice reflection.

Funny how Grebes seem to prefer Perch, Just about every image i have of them with a fish is a perch, Lovely colours-shame about the strand of weed but what can you do

I think the weed adds to the composition. Excellent capture, by both you and the GCG.
