Black-necked Grebe
Not very common in Cheese land. I'm quite happy with this shot. I zoomed out to 200 mm to get this shot. Luckely there was no wind at all, otherwise it wouldn't have worked I guess. I also got some frame fillers but I really like this one. Do you?

iso 200 1/60 sec. F5.6

Wow, the light is amazing! I really like this, espec. how you put the bird at the top of the frame, always nice to see something different.

This type of shot really works for me as long as the surround is as diffuse as this is. Good stuff.

Works for me...as you say, with wind it may have been a different story!
