It was change around time, as one bird left the other replaced it after checking the eggs. I have been to this nest five times and still no chicks, I will be returning tomorrow - fingers crossed.

All comments welcome.

I like the caring pose, clean green water background and eggs. This one also seems much sharper than your grebe with duck. Shame these fellas didn't build a more attractive nest!

Love the pose and the water droplets on back and belly. I would take a bit off the bottom to reduce the visual impact of nest. I would also increase exposure a bit. Lovely tender moment caught. I know I am anthropomorphisizing (?sp)...:e3
