So rapid, indeed, are their movements, that, on seeing the flash of a gun, they can dive into security, below the water, before the shot can reach them, as the following account will show.
cc As I was out shooting, " writes an eye-witness, " I saw one of these birds swimming towards a point of land, where I could easily conceal myself: so I repaired thither for that purpose. He came on- wards with a wild anxious gait, constantly turning THE CRESTED GREBE. 257 his head from side to side, as if t...o be upon his guard against an enemy. I had arrived at the place, and the hird was approaching.

Watching the moment when he was so engaged, I fired, at the distance of thirty yards. My gun went quick as lightning, but the Grebe went quicker, and scrambling over, out of sight, came up again in a few seconds, perfectly unhurt.
