Grebe mum and young
Taken yesterday at my usual haunt-About 15 nests there and a couple have chicks,I shoot on a tree that has fallen in the lake,A couple of weeks ago i held a workshop with another brit photographer and i fell in much to his amusement, now with all the rain the first part of the tree is submerged and very slippery-hope the new camera doesnt get a soaking-The hot day temperatures and stormy nights have made it mozzy hell-they now come at you in cloud formation-Slight crop to decentralise the birds

ID3 500f4+2x Beanbag 1/160@F11 ISO 200

A wonderful shot Dave :toast:
Sorry couldn't help but laugh about you falling in.Sounds like your workshop participants got there money's worth that day.
It's those 24 bottles of beer you know,you really should limit yourself to 18 when you're working in those conditions.:wink:

Dave,

Lovely shot, one I wish I had in my collection. Surely you need the 24 bottles so you won't feel it when the mozzies bite you!

Regards Chris.
