Here is the second part. First up are the photos I took with my trusty Panasonic fz7. A juvenile little grebe posed in front of us while I was trying to digiscope, so I whipped out my camera and got these

@ dudley - cheers

@ cakkleberry - little grebes or 'dabchicks' as there sometimes called look like balls of fluff with a head when you see them on an open lake. They definately a contender for cutest wildfowl in the UK :smile:
