    Default Little Grebe at Hungerford Berkshire 12/07/2007

    They remain an exasperating bird to photograph, as they don't stay in one place for long, but got a few photos and a video clip.

    The rest to follow.

    They dive and come up some where else a bit like Cormorants don't they but not so far away.

    Yes, so it takes you a while to find where they are and then by the time you've focussed, they are off again.

    Here's one of it coming towards me and another couple more common shots, of it disappearing beneath the water.

    The outer two are quite big, I'll reduce them in size.

    The video isn't great, but it shows how long they stay under water.

    Nice set of piccies. Aren't they lovely-looking birds.. although also very wet looking. What was that saying about "water off a ducks back"? I suppose they're not ducks, but Grebes
