This is my second year having opportunities to photograph Red-Necked Grebes.
Perhaps not The Most Exotic looking of grebes, but on a fairly cloudy morning, this Red-Necked Grebe came close enough to allow for close-up photography of its grooming, including some wing flapping which I have not seen before. What it displayed were beautiful colours and textures within its feathers, as well as a face full of character.
Am waiting with anticipation of the arrival of those little "stowaways" riding on the backs of their parents.
