Weedy Grebe

When I spotted this Little Grebe on a recent visit to the RSPB reserve at Old Moor I didn't really think I'd get more than a distant shot due to the heavy weedy vegetation in the channel. But as I sat and watched the grebe came closer and closer before submerging below the weed. It popped back in to view and I shot a few pictures thinking it would soon find an easier place to feed.

The grebe continued to disappear from view but each time it resurfaced it edged nearer and nearer allowing me to get some decent pictures.
