Just a Great crested grebe downing its main course at lunchtime….
It had already enjoyed an appetiser, a smaller fish that slithered down its gullet much more easily. This Perch, with its pesky wide fins, took a bit more manoeuvring.

It amazes me sometimes how birds manage to swallow the seemingly too large fish they catch. This was one such event, witnessed during a walk around Cardiff Bay on Friday, when I witnessed a Great crested grebe lunching on a Perch. I presume it wouldn’t have required dinner after this feast!
