On this morning the water was extremely calm making for a great reflection.

Rob, Awesome image. The reflection is almost as sharp as the grebe.

Fine shot, Rob. As always when photographing this bird, the eye dominates.

Hi Rob,

I love the way the grasses add to the environment giving this such a natural look. Fantastic!

Fantastic reflection Rob, the Grebe on the nest on it's own would be good anyway.
