Great pose from a super bird, may be me but it appears to be going uphill ever so slightly, that is only minor a super image.

Very nice.
Fits well in the frame and has a great pose.

Yes, this is a very nice behavioural image. It looks very good.

Hi Jeroen
Top quality image, looks fantastic, great detail and a well caught pose. Might have been nicer with the Grebe facing more towards you but not a lot you can do about that.
Excellent work
cheers
