Jun 06, 2012 13:06 | #1 ...I took my camera along to get some shots of the water birds which live next to the small lake adjacent to the dealership. The garage is several miles outside Leicester and as there was little else to do to fill the time, it seemed like a good idea  Young Coot:   Moorhen:  Juvenile Merganser? not sure about this one, any thoughts?:

I'm going to go with Levina on the Little Grebe ID for the last one...we don't get those over here, so I can't say for certain; but looking at ID photos that looks pretty close. - Eric S.: My Birds/Wildlife

I've never seen the young of an American Coot or a Grebe of any sort before. This thread is a treat and not just because of the showroom shot. Wow do I have a lot to learn! The Chosen Spot, NY

Very nice shots Mark, I was wondering if the last image was of the grebe family.Dave jodelak wrote in post #14540450 You got an awesome car there Mark  . Wonderfully adorned by beautiful birds! I never knew that cars and birds go together, excellent series if i may add Levina de Ruijter wrote in post #14541508 That's a real nice pond you have there, Mark! Nice cars too... A fine set of images. I especially like the young coot in the grass and the last one. Like Dave I am thinking Grebe. More specific a Little Grebe (Tachybaptus ruficollis). Could that be right you think? cfcRebel wrote in post #14542543 No wonder you've been getting all these great images. Look at your CAR! It is like a moving blind with all those open shooting windows.
