Tiny Australasian Grebes (Tachybaptus novaehollandiae) are almost totally aquatic – their legs are placed so far back on their bodies that they can hardly walk on land. Pairs of Australasian Grebes commonly inhabit quiet wetlands, diving to catch small fish, aquatic insects and other prey. In the Australian summer in January dozens of Australian Emperor Dragonfly (Anax papuensis) pairs were laying their eggs in the stems of waterweeds in the Bardoc Reserve, south of Perth In Western Australia. The male dragonflies hovered with their claspers around the necks of the females as they laid their eggs. This abundance of food was too tempting to resist for the Grebes as they caught, subdued and then swallowed several of these large dragonflies.
