Successful Catch




That morning in early June I was fortunate to watch how the male Western Grebe caught a big fish which he struggled to keep in his beak. That was a true success that doesn't happen often.
 







Later the female Grebe joined the lucky mate but she acted as if she was indifferent.  I am sure that the female anticipated that her mate would share with her his catch otherwise she would not have been there.








What if at some point the fish escapes you into the water?  I probably would stay with you for a while.


 





I believe that all birds have a great tolerance, loyalty and respect for their mates. 

The lucky male Grebe was left alone and continued to struggle with his big catch.


Generally, life is good!

  6. Yo no estoy muy seguro de que al final se comiera el pez. Parece demasiado grande para su pico. Pero al menos ha servido para que hagas unas magnificas fotografias. Me quedo con la primera por su buen reflejo en el agua.
    Un abrazo y cuídate.
