Grebe

I got this great crested grebe last weekend, before the weather turned into snow and gloom. Hope you enjoy. I had no choice in position as I was sat in a hide at my local nature reserve.

C&C always welcome.

That's really nice. Catchlight in the eye and the reflected eye.

Very crisp. Very nice shot.

Nice one Phreddie.

Great capture. Never seen this bird at all, even in pics.

Great shot. Im extremely jealous I love grebes and we dont have any gcgs over here..
booo

Very nice phreddie, love the reflection.

Nice capture Phreddie, another british bird that runs (or swims) a mile when it sees a camera Well caught.

Nice shot ! Thanks for sharing !

Wow...stunning shot. Super sharp with great colours and a perfect reflection. Excellent composition.

Very nice shot.

Thank you all for the very kind comments .

One thing I found interesting in the picture is the shape the bill appears to be in the reflection. I can't make my mind up whether it is that shape, or whether a 'wavelet' has distorted it.

fantastic shot, well done

Nice shot, I have never seen this one either, looks like his head was just pasted onto his body. One thing I love about this site you never know what your going to see next.

Oh great reflection too.

looks like he got his neck shaved ...what a funny bird ~great shot

Excellent capture and the reflection is a sure bonus. Well done Phreddie.
