That's a cracking picture you've taken of this Sungrebe Stanley - not a species we see coming in too often.

Excellent work here my friend. Very well done.
 
How did you get it in the open? Every time I see this bird it is under the roots of a river bank or in the deep brush along the lake. Good job.
