Midnight Feast - Black Necked Grebe Shows Mosquitoes Who's Boss!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot captured by wildlife photographer David Pattyn, a black necked grebe takes center stage as it showcases its exceptional foraging skills under the cover of darkness. This adult bird fearlessly dives into the inky depths of a freshwater lake in the Netherlands, skillfully navigating through rippled waters to catch its prey. With an air of mystery surrounding it, this avian predator stealthily hunts down mosquitoes that dare to disturb the tranquility of the night. As if performing an intricate dance routine on water, the grebe elegantly glides across the surface with arty shots created by ripples forming around its agile body. Marching to its own rhythm, this highly commended photograph from Asferico Awards 2017 perfectly captures nature's harmonious balance between predator and prey. The eared grebe's determination is palpable as it demonstrates how even in darkness, life finds a way to thrive. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image, we can't help but marvel at both nature's beauty and resilience. So next time you find yourself swatting away pesky mosquitoes during a summer evening stroll, remember that somewhere out there in the wilds of Western Europe, a black necked grebe is gracefully feasting on these bothersome insects - proving once again that Mother Nature always has her own ingenious solutions!
