I came upon this display of a pair of Great Crested Grebe and wasn't ready for it.
The dance itself lasts a few seconds so I had to rely on the camera setting I already had available.
It didn't help that the sun was behind the subjects either. I hung around for a while, but there was no repeat performance unfortunately
Great sequence Roy, It's a shame that wildlife has no thought for us struggling photographers when they're engrossed in their nuptials!!...[;o)
ReplyDeleteThanks Trevor, I know, they just don't care do they.{:))
DeleteGreat series of shots Roy, especially considering the short time you had to prepare for these photos :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks David.
DeleteWell captured Roy! A great sequence. It is a lovely thing to witness which all too often fizzles out before it really starts.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jan.
DeleteGreat captures Roy.
ReplyDeleteSomething I've not managed to see yet this year.
It's quite normal for them to do this here using the weeds Nora.
ReplyDeleteHi Roy
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy photo showing the birds actual behaviour. This is a great series of shots. And to think we get by with the ocassional movie or box of chocolates.

Guy
Thanks Guy.{:))
DeleteLovely set of shots showing that amazing weed dance Roy. If that is what you get when unprepared........(-:
ReplyDeleteThanks Jen, it was 'Pot Luck' really.
DeleteYes ... this delicious mating dance of the grebes. I think it's a beautiful sight. You ehbt they nicely capture emt giving the plants together.
ReplyDeleteThanks Helma.
DeleteWonderful! You were probably a lot more prepared then most of us would have been and your shots prove it! I would love to see this happen in real life. They look so funny with the weeds draped on their bills.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mary. It does look rather odd does't it.
