For those like me who are not up to speed on Oriental Weatherloach, all is revealed here.  As they are regarded as a pest species one can only conclude "well done that Grebe".

This morning I observed the Yerrabi Pond Grebe capture and eat two Oriental Weatherloach. It caught both of them in the same tangle of branches in shallow water close to the shoreline (in the 'Pelican' cove). They were small by Weatherloach standards.  (By coincidence I observed a Little Pied Cormorant catch and eat a full-grown Oriental Weatherloach in Yerrabi Pond yesterday).
