Le Grèbe huppé niche entre avril et juillet. À cette époque, les adultes portent une double huppe et des oreillettes brunes encadrant la tête. Lors de la parade nuptiale complexe, le mâle et la femelle se font face et dressent le cou. Il nagent de concert, se frottent le cou tout en émettant des cris sonores, plongent puis réapparaissent, l'un des deux présentant des algues à l'autre. Le couple s'immobilise, poitrine contre poitrine, et chaque oiseau tourne la tête d'un côté puis de l'autre. Ce manège peut se perpétuer même lorsque les grèbes sont occupés à la construction du nid. Ce dernier est constitué principalement d'algues . Il peut reposer sur un fond vaseux mais il est conçu en principe pour affleurer la surface. Il peut également flotter mais il est alors arrimé à une souche ou à un paquet de végétaux entremêlés. Les adultes en garnissent la coupe peu profonde de végétaux qui servent à recouvrir les œufs si les adultes s'absentent du nid. La ponte est composée de 3 à 6 œufs blancs qui virent ensuite au brun et deviennent de ce fait plus discrets. Les adultes couvent en se relayant toutes les quelques heures. L'éclosion intervient au bout de 28 jours. Les jeunes sont capables de nager aussitôt mais ils restent dépendants de leurs parents plusieurs semaines.

The Great Crested Grebe nestles between April and July. At this time, adults wear a double crest and brown atria framing the head. During the complex courtship, the male and the female face each other and raise the neck. They swim together, rub their necks while emitting loud cries, dive and then reappear, one of them having algae to another. The couple stands still, chest to chest, and each bird turns its head on one side then the other. This ride can continue even when grebes are busy building the nest. The latter consists mainly of algae. It can rest on a muddy bottom but it is designed in principle to be flush with the surface. It can also float but is then stowed to a stump or a bundle of plants intermingled. Adults fill the shallow cut of plants that cover the eggs if adults are absent from the nest. The egg is composed of 3 to 6 white eggs which turn brown then become more discreet. Adult convent by taking turns every few hours. The hatching occurs after 28 days. The young are able to swim immediately but remain dependent on their parents for several weeks.

My project for the week was to try taking shots showing speed and focus....I was pleased with this one ... also the composition is pretty well balanced. I used ‘burst’ mode on my camera....

Thanks for your views, faves and comments, they are much appreciated. Have a good week and HMM!
I mainly took this photo because Charlie sat still for a moment and looked nice with the heather bokeh. He was watching Fynn who was dozing on a table and Charlie seemed to fancy jumping onto him (an idea he luckily gave up).
For now things between Charlie and his new brother are looking quite good IMHO although my niece isn't happy that the little one is still hissing and growling a lot. Apparently Charlie behaves exactly how he behaves with Tofu too, which means he is dominant but in a playful way. I add a capture in the comments which shows a typical situation between Charlie and Tofu. That's something Tofu can cope with and I'm sure Charlie's new brother will quickly learn that too.
... on a new week !
Have a great Monday !

Pushkar is one of the oldest existing cities of India. It lies on the shore of the Pushkar Sarovar (Lake). The date of its actual origin is not known, but legend associates Brahma with its creation. The city has many temples and ghats and has people from all over the world coming here. It has flourishing market with loads of tourists and pilgrims. This old Sadhu I spotted in one such market. Thick gray eyebrows and mustache, stubble and wearing head scarf, he looked stern and gave a very angry look to me showing displeasure at being shot!

All attention focuses on the specific instant, almost too good to be true, which can only vanish in the following one :-)

With only a brief window before moonrise I went to a familiar recent target to try more bokeh MW! This is a lot longer exposure than I would normally do with a 50mm lens as star trailing is less noticeable when out of focus!

This one was focused on something - it didn't seem to notice me at all.
When in love we focus on one person, everybody else become blurred in our eyes, but is our look at that loved person focused, or is love a state of totally blurred vision?
