Too big to swallow: little grebe, big fish

Too big to swallow: little grebe,  big fish

Little grebe which seems to be settling down for its winter quarters on the canal right by the Wildside Centre.

The bird had just caught a fish which was too big to swallow. It kept jerking its head to throw the fish back in the water, then diving under to catch it again. Perhaps it was trying to see if it would get it down its throat if it could get a different grip.
