Grebe Enjoying Lunch.

[Isac]

I spotted this grebe with a crustacean of some description in it's beak, obviously not prepared to share, as it was fairly hiking across the lake. It was a long way away and the IQ is not the best - glad I had the siggy 150-500 with me.

good behaviour captured.

did well with the light.

I think the lines on the water saved your bacon with this one.

think it would have lost plenty with a plain white background

Thanks Stephen, It was more the moment than anything else. I would have preferred better IQ.

[Chosek]

Actually the iq isnt that bad, feather detail is visible and in some kind of way the water lines add to the image......

[Isac]

You are too kind Michael.

[Rob Smith]

Better than anything I've got on this bird Isac. Well done!

I suspect it's a dragonfly larvae the grebe has.
Lovely capture. Like the water tones and the hints of the same greens that are on the birds bill.

Thank you Rob. I have a few of the Grebes from our local lake. They are a bit camera shy though, and being small, it's hard to get a nice close up. I'll keep trying though.

I love you're comments Jo. You're probably right about the larvae after taking a close look. I still reckon the IQ is not that good, the green on the face should be yellow!
