  9. Gorgeous bird. Couldn't watch the video. Too upsetting I would imagine. The human race has much to answer for in my opinion ...

  10. Bob, beautiful shots of a very beautiful bird! The eyes are very intense. Clear and sunny here today! Windy and cold! But we'll take whatever sun we can get in November!

  15. Excellent images of the Great-crested Grebe Bob.

    I watched the 'sickening' video, but the comments from the shooting fraternity were much more sickening, a worrying mentally unbalanced bunch.

  21. I think Pete sums the video up perfectly more. Frightening we allow people like this to have guns in the first place.

  25. The Grebe is spectacular, I like all the coloration of the fine feathers on its head, magnificent, and the drops on its back are really special. It's supposed to frost here but hasn't yet. I'm trying to remember how hot and dry it was last summer....
