Grebes

One of my favourite little birds. So wet and windy here but they seem to be in their element.

Lovely work as always Rick. They are cute little birds and seem very happy in their little ponds. Love your #2. 

They look so fluffly that it surprises me they can dive so well. I would have thought a lot of air would get trapped in those fluffly feathers and make them quite bouyant.

Great images #2 is a stunner, I don't have much luck with grebes, I'll have to try harder.

Such shy retiring little birds, and so cute. smiley

When I was a kid living on a farm with a dam we used to get them all the time.

They really are the best little bird and watching them try to fly is hystericalsmiley

Saw my first one last Saturday. Smaller bird than I had expected and stayed as far away from me as it could. Reminds me of my wife in some ways....wink
