Great Crested Grebe (Podiceps cristatus)

I had about an hour before it clouded over, so I went out to catch the Grebes. It was a bit on the windy side. Hence the photos.

  24. Yes, you can tell from your pics that it's windy, and I agree with Giga that the drops of water on his back with the choppy water movement all add atmosphere to your excellent shots.
