Little & Little at Top Hill Low

A fairly short time at Top Hill Low yesterday so no prospect of the Purple Heron (it was not seen yesterday and seems to have moved on) but I did see two beauties.

A bit distant but the distinctive flight of a Little Gull over 'D' reservoir followed by a very close (too close under the hide at one point) Little Grebe. It caught two fish (Sticklebacks?), the second capture being in front of the hide which I managed to picture.

Superb shots of the Dabchick Mike. We had a few Little Gulls locally the other day, I wasn't fortunate enough to see them at the time.

Wow wow wow, I will sign immediately for the pictures of the little grebe eating the sticklebacks!!! Yes this little fish is a stickleback and from the colors on the throat I can even tell you it's a male... Gosh these three last shots are terrific Mike....
