Evening Grebes (Podiceps cristatus)

This young Great Crested Grebe was kicking up a terrific noise as it pestered the parent for food at Strumpshaw Fen on Saturday evening. I was shooting more or less directly into the sun, so I wasn't sure whether to leave the birds as silhouettes or expose for the birds and white out the water. Typically, in the end I compromised. Ron
