Slavonian Grebe
Slavonian Grebe / podiceps auritus. Straws Bridge, Derbyshire. 20/02/21.
'SCARCE LOCAL VISITOR.'
This scarce winter visitor has been causing a bit of a stir at my local lakes during the past week. For me, a lockdown bonus which I have been able to enjoy just five minutes from home!
I made the image last Saturday when it was showing on the smallest of the lakes. Weak sunshine, light on the water and reflections from surrounding vegetation gave nice photo opportunities ... plus of course, the bird's confiding disposition.
