LCyd

Peaceful morning at LCyd, well, until the 100+ Canadas dropped in.  The Red Breasted Goose was hidden amongst them, but far away so only a record shot.  A flock of 50+ Lapwing put on a good display, but the star was the Great Crested Grebe catching a fish right in front of the hide.  Please excuse the reeds!

    It makes you wonder how the grebe devours the perch,which has a spinal Dorsel fin and spines on the anal fin
