BBC short with some nice underwater footage. Quote:

Wildlife documentary. Dean is a painter and decorator by trade, but he dreams of being a wildlife cameraman. He's spent the past few years filming in a freezing flooded quarry in Leicester. Although he's an amateur, Dean's footage of courting pike was so good it was used in The Nature of Britain. This film was made to share more of Dean's fantastic footage. It also features Dean talking about his experiences.

Brilliant.

The fish reminded me a bit of dragonflies where you get hawkers (=pike), that fly around most of the time looking for their prey, and darters (=perch) where they sit around waiting for an opportune moment to pounce.

I'm sure it's not always like that, but interestign nonetheless.
