Great Crested Grebes at Säby; Digsicoping with Panasonic GH4 A small Pike is offered to a young Great Crested Grebe, riding on its mothers back, it comfortably swallowed it whole... Always a photogenic subject, nice to get some images of this mother and young one... A series of digiscoped images here of Great Crested Grebes going about their parental duties at Säbysjön, Norra Järvafältet this morning. The images were taken at around 50 metres range...

Excellent series! Wow that looks like a pretty big pike (don't they have big sharp teeth?) for the chick here! So the young bird really managed to gulp it entirely okay?? Does the fish put up a good struggle, if eaten, does it get swallowed Down wriggling all the way as well?!
