David,
I wonder where you gather information? Is it only the web that is tainted
when it has a commercial connection or newspapers, radio, magazines,
journals.... ?

That is fantastic. Unfortunately for me, I don't want to go to a
commercial web space to view the photos.
Did you cut Jen in on the advertising revenue, or is that not part of the
love?

Hi everyone,
With the first afternoon of sunshine in a while I drove to the storm
water
basin in Royal Park, Melbourne, just near home. I had seen a family of
Australasian Grebe there and wanted some photos of their tiger-striped
chicks. The Grebe were still there and also a family of Coot, also just
itching to have their photos taken.
The two families drifted around with their young, slowly coming closer
together, and I imagined the chance of a photo of both families
harmoniously
feeding young in the warm afternoon sun. Suddenly though, one of the coot
started screaming and paddling frantically backwards, spray going
everywhere. Huge fish I thought, or perhaps an enormous eel no,
obviously,
a
crocodile someone had dropped down a local sewer (I've read about that
happening!).
What it actually was though was an irate adult Grebe that had felt its
chicks were threatened. It had dived and come up under the coot and it
not
only attacked, but chased the panicked coot from under water for some 10
metres or more before surfacing and attacking again, from behind and
above.
As a friend said when she saw the image; “that is one agro bird!”
I will put the image on the BOCA site tonight but right now I need to go
back out in the sun with a cup of tea.
Cheers all
Jen
