He is in his early Spring plumage. After surfaced with the fish two Gulls attacked him and he was forced to dive. When he resurfaced, there was no fish.

a nice catch on your part and a bonus on getting the fish after disappearing, dam gulls.

The grebes are definitely an entertaining lot Karl. The water looks so clear and clean too, really sets the grebe and its catch off.

Fine image and story Karl - gulls can be a nuisance.

Great catch both of you, great details and I hope he got to eat the fish under water.
