The Australasian grebe,
Tachybaptus novaehollandiae
(apparently.)

Is one of the smallest members of the grebe family and is becoming a frequent visitor to our dam.
Here it is helping itself to the local metamorph population of the Spotted Marsh Frog, Limnodynastes tasmaniensis.
(apparently also.)

In September of last year I watched and photographed the male Spotted Marsh frog whilst it was guarding the spawn from predators and what happens?
Six months later you almost make it to be a fully grown frog only to be stabbed and eaten  by a 20cm Grebe!
