thanks guys :) reflection in the first one would have been better but the grebe was chasing a fish and the fish created a little wake as well ! lol

#1 stands out above the rest for me, though the feeding shot is a very close second

Great pictures Ian but that Goldeneye looks more like a tufted duck to me unless I am missing the joke!

Recent Goldeneye from me

Great shots :thumbs: (from a big GCG fan :embarrassed:) - The duck you shot is a Tufted (not a Goldeneye despite its golden eye - matt's shot is & you can see its very distinctive stripey side panel)
