The Great Crested Grebes are nesting again. I spotted them in a canal about 200 meters from my house. This shot is a crop from a 300 mm shot.

Paul, I'm ashamed of the fact that I've never heard about Grebes. So, what have I done? I visited the Wikipedia site and found out that Grebes are members of the podicipediformes order. Hé,Hé, now it's clear to me. (lol). What stays is a beautiful image of nesting birds, even after the picture is cropped. Your image brings spring somewhat nearer. Thanks (for sharing) & regards, Cornelius

Grebes, and I also never head of them. Never seen a duck like that before. Good shot, Paul.

A most interesting capture of these lovely Grebes. A well done crop. What a great shot of their nest - lots of texture around them. The water is stirred up and golden. But the Grebes are the stars! I like their top knots or crowns Paul, and the touches of colours. Thanks for sharing natures beauty :)

Great capture, Paul. Never saw these before, they're the "Groucho Marx" of birds LOL!
