    Default Horned Grebe with fish



    Horned Grebe
    (Podiceps auritus)

    Södermanland, Sweden

    Canon 70D | 400mm f/5.6 | ISO400 | 1/800s

    Taken last summer in a bay in the southern parts of Stockholm. I wasn't able to achieve a lower angle without a floating hide. I might give that a try if the couple returns this year.

    Beautiful full breeding plumage. I have never seen ours so colored. Love the pose, colors and the fish is a big bonus, Ivan.

    Hi Ivan, The colours are amazing - the bird looks spectacular and the warm colours on the water look great too.

    For me, I would want to be having the bird much lower in the frame - the reflection isn't really adding anything to the image, here, in my opinion.

    I hope the couple returns again for you this year.

    Regards, Gerald
