Haha great sequence. It looks totally weirded out by the end - "What on Earth is that lump doing and what is he pointing at me!"

Thanks guys, no idea why it came closer. Not what they usually do.

Wonderful set of shots so you were well rewarded for the effort. Not sure I would be laying down in a spillway.

Magic shots Shorty. They run a mile when they spot me. You might need to invest in a periscope for a lower perspective.

Thanks, Sue. The spillway was dry. Chilly and foggy morning so not going to get wet :)

Thanks, Reflex. Perhaps a waterproof case for my camera and shoot from below :)

Well done Shorty. You were lucky to get those and the Aus.Grebes tend to be very shy.
