Red-throated loon or red-throated diver (Gavia stellata) caught in the middle of a small lake in northern Trøndelag, Norway. Although I watched them for a long time (there was a pair), they always stayed in the middle of the lake. So I had to start the full tele including teleconverter to be able to take a picture. It was a cold (6-8 degrees Celsius) and gusty, windy summer day. I lay down on the lake shore so as not to frighten the shy birds and to be able to take the photo in peace. The result isn't a masterpiece, but it was the best I could do in the conditions.
