Practice makes perfect


It was a ridiculously mild 11°C today yet around half of Genval Lake, just to the south of Brussels, was still frozen from the recent cold spell.  That didn't seem to worry this immature Black-throated Diver, though, as it was constantly snorkelling and diving at the edge of the ice.  It wasn't very succesful, however, as it only managed to catch one fish the whole time I was there.
