Description


Caught a glimpse of a great crested grebe sitting on its nest the other day. This is something I don't normally get a chance of a shot at as they are fairly shy when it comes to nesting. This wasn't an easy angle and I really hadn't expected it to come out as well as it did with my little digital snapshot camera - I could really use an SLR with big lens to fully do this justice. The focus isn't perfect but I'm unlikely to get another opportunity like this so I thought I'd share it anyway. Thanks for taking the time to look. Hope you like it. :-) ------------------------------- Original Photograph 11-Sep-2008

durleybeachbum - the chicks hatched a week or two back. Though it wasn't raining, she looks as if she's sheltering them. But, yes, it is a little late in the season. :-)

Albeit with camera restrictions, you did a great job, and these are extremely shy birds, everytime I have tried to shoot them, they swim away, then I recompose and they dive under the surface lol, can't win :)
