Greedy Grebe
A brief trip to Farmoor Reservoir in Oxfordshire. Weather was cool and cloudy. The hope was to see a Common Scoter that had been reported. ( But not found by me )
Having been unable to locate the Common Scoter i was making my way back to the car park to go home when i saw this Great Crested Grebe with what initially looked like a small Fish. As it lifted its head from the water i realised it was a Pike. I quickly switched the camera back on an managed to get two images captured before the Grebe had swallowed the Pike completely.
A good end to the visit.
