This isn't a particularly good or clear photo of this male great crested grebe, but they are really hard to photograph, and I have tried for ages to get a half decent photo of one! He is one half of a few breeding pairs at Stover lake. Not only are they fairly shy (they tend to stay in the middle of the lake, rarely venturing towards the shores), but every time I lined my camera up up for a photo, they dived down under the water coming up in another place several minutes later! I can't wait to see them in a month or so with their young, which they carry on their backs!
