Those of you that follow my Facebook Photography page ( Link to the right if you want to follow ) will be aware that I have spent a lot of time recently photographing Great Crested Grebes.

They are a beautiful bird and during the mating season the love and affection they show to each other is quite spectacular. The courtship dance where the Grebes shake their heads and flick their feathers is a spectacle to watch. It is one such event in nature where I feel that video is a better medium than a photograph as freezing the moment misses their graceful movements.

This couple of Grebes have produced eggs and they have been protecting them for three weeks now. I hope that we will see some Grebe chicks in the very near future.
