First visit at the weekend to Roswell Pits, on the edge of Ely. All seemed quiet at first, but in the far corner of third lake, we spotted a Great-Crested Grebe with a couple of young. And not only that, but the adult was fishing and feeding them. They would hang around when the parent dived, and then race to be first to get the fish when they popped up again.
This is my first "digiscope" blog image, taken through a telescope with the camera attached to the eyepiece. A tripod is a must, and even then it is really hard to get a steady image. These birds were over 100 metres away, so it's pretty good for a first attempt.
