Great Crested Grebe with Chick

Norfolk Broads, UK.

EOS 10D. Sigma 100-300 + 1.4TC. ISO 400. 1/800 @ F7.1 - 2/3.

Just trying to sort through images from our trip to Norfolk in June. I never saw so many Grebes before! I couldn't resist this mother and chick, although the harsh midday light was difficult to deal with on the water during this particularly hot day. The chick was a fair size but still insisted on free rides!

You gotta take the shot and it was well done for the conditions. Just think what good light would have done to this.

Yeps, cute, and I know they're hard to resist this way :mrgreen: As you already say, the light is kind of harsh, but you dealed with it quite well. I would have liked to see an even lower angle, but that's a minor thing.

Nice one Carol. Would have loved to see some better light, but you did well under the circumstances.
