    GCG and chick

    We just happened to stroll through Apex Park as mum was taking her chick for a swimming lesson followed by some lunch. Here's five of the best. All shot with my 7D2 and 150-600C.

    Where are you mum?

          Thanks for looking David and Neil.

          Neil they're very elegant and completely different from the parent aren't they And the colour scheme not only works, they're hard to see against water, but it seems to be pretty common across the Grebe family. Very cute.

            Andy first time I saw these chicks I was totally amazed as we saw them in open still water but I could imagine they hide well especially on mums back.

              That they do. But sometimes they stick their beaks out

                      Thanks chaps Every now and then, Great Crested Grebes get this urge to be close to me and herself. And today was one of those days...
