Hi all

Here are a few shots of Horned Grebes (Slavonian Grebes). I can spend hours just watching them. Fascinating species. Please feel free to comment (C&C)

Fantastic! What a magnificent bird. I can see why you can spend hours watching them.
Those eyes are hypnotizing, and I love the beads of water on her.
Great shots Sindri, I knew I was in for a treat :)

Killer images, Sindri. Your usual stellar effort.

How do you get at water and bird's eye level? Are you in a boat or kayak?

Grebes are very interesting to watch. We have and eared grebe here that has those red mesmerizing eyes.
