A distant sequence of shots of Great Crested Grebes engaged in their courting display / "weed dance":

...they both rise up, the male having all the weed

...they separate

....a little later the weed has gone, and the male looks very pleased with himself

I'll re-visit and see if I can get closer!

Classic shots Russ, i have been trying to these on video ,i am using manual focus and missed it a few times ,if i had the DSLR with me i would have got it
 
Well caught,Russ. I've yet to see this ritual and I'm hoping the light conditions will improve but it's not looking good this week either. I love it that all it takes is some weed. Kind of puts things in perspective.. :D
 
Nice sequence of shots and like Den says it would be great to get it on video to fully appreciate the spectacle
