Spent yesterday afternoon trying to photograph Little Grebesat a pond in a local park. They are very elusive and seem to dive underwater as soon as you focus on them! They pop up silently somewhere else and are very difficult to spot. These are my best 2 efforts below - critique please. I think the lillies in the foreground ruin shot 2 and I'm not over the moon with the composition of shot 1.I think I'll be back pondside as soon as the rain clears!
