Crested with passengers - covering the passenger deck (Podiceps cristatus)

I'm back. And I've pretty much caught up browsing. So now back to catching up on clearing out old photos ... Gotta make room for my Danube Delta trip that starts next weekend, not that filling the 'puter with hundreds of shots from Vest-Amager last Thursday helped. Nor did getting sunburned while taking those shots help ;). But I'll get all that sorted. First to post the remaining shots from that surprise day off in Oslo. Three images of the Crested Grebe today, taking his chicks out for a spin and defending them against the Black-headed Gulls that were nesting on the island you can just see the edge of behind him here.
