Captured perfectly showing its crest and it sure is a beautiful image of this Grebe Ken!

That's the most wonderful pose you captured Ken.

A terrific picture you've taken of him lad - very well done.

I saw one at the Wivenhoe Dam, which was the first Hans had seen for years he said. There were a few at Herdsman Lake in Perth. So, as you say, not a common species out there.
