Little Grebe (Tachybaptus ruficollis) – Essex, UK.

Canon EOS 1D MkII, 600/f4 IS, EF 1.4x II + wimberley head.
Manual exposure mode f9, 1/1000s, iso 400, AWB.
RAW image processed in Capture One; luminocity sharpening in Photoshop CS2 (amount = 100 percent; radius = 0.2; threshold = 0 applied four times); full frame.

Shot from a portable blind at a local wetland that I have installed now the birds have finished nesting. Just hope it doesn't get vandalized, which is what happened last year.

Hi Phil, nice to see some more of your work. Looks like you've fully recovered your computercrash and you seem to be back on track. Excellent photograph this is, the low angle works perfect and the light is gorgeous. Lovely pose as well. Looking forward to see more of your work done from this hide. All the best! :)
