Hi there,

I'm new here and found this great section on the forum! I've seen some beautiful images and thought I should show you guys some of my photos.

Late Decembre I found this Horned Grebe (or Slavonian Grebe) in winter plumage nearby our house and had the chance to make a full photoshoot. Hope you like it!
Shot with my Canon 1000D and Sigma 400 f5.6, laying down in the snow.

Welcome to the bird forum and congratulations on an excellent first post. I really like the very low perspective for these images. Job well done.
