I took this last year,and had forgotten about it until some one asked me if I had seen this dancing taking place,these two had a hard time finding weed so they were diving to the lake bottom and coming up with beak fulls of leaves,wonderful to watch though...

I watched them do this twice the other day but although i did get some shots they were in reeds so nice to see it in open water,Switzerland is one of the best places in Europe for Grebes and at the moment you have up to 20 pairs at a time in front of you so there is always a chance to get 'the dance'-Nice image-not quite the full monty with feet on top of the water but nice all the same

You've produced a nice image here Stewart - the two pairs on my usual water always seem to do this miles away from me - very well done :toast:
