Great Crested Grebe feeding Young

A family of Great Crested Grebe (Podiceps cristatus) on the River Yare, Norfolk, at Surlingham Church Marsh. One of the three chicks, riding on its mothers back, stretches out its neck, beak wide open, to take the fish from its father. It never ceases to amaze me the size of the fish that Grebe chicks are able to consume!
