    Billy, I was following this guy with my camera and whenever I thought he was going to dive I fired a long burst, but it still took lots of attempts.
    Incidently little grebes are even quicker at ducking under and swimming away.

    I did the same with a pair of Moorhens - it was lunchtime so I only had 45 mins to try and catch it... got nothing, I just couldn't get the timing right.
