Slavonian Grebe. Kirk Hallam lake, Ilkeston, Derbyshire. DSC_7718.jpg

            The grebe will insist on lurking in the shade of the island in the centre of the lake, so the light is often low. The kerbstones around this side are handy for getting down fairly low, though not right at water level, with only the bird guano and the odd spot of mud to mess up the jeans. OK, apart from when I wanted the shots with the fish, when it cunningly went where there were bushes that restricted such access...

Thank you for your faves and comments
