Little Grebes galore! A morning with my nemesis the dab chicks :-)

[mufftrix]

As a few will know these have become a bit of an obsession! (nearly more than they jays but not quite!)

A few rays of the mystical sun this morning, and although I have loads to do I thought would try my 500mm F4 with the 1.7TC

Therefore giving me 850mm to try and get a better shot of the little blighters?

So here are some of the results!

Cheers Mick ....

Great set of images, Mick...#1 and #5 are very good, the water on these shots looks almost like quicksilver

I too have an obsession, but with me it's Common Snipe

Charming little fellow!
Good hunting of a cute character full of life.

Lovely set Mick

The low POV really helps to separate the birds from their background. Well captured!

These are great images - I love these little creatures so much. Fascinating to watch and study, you've captured them very well.
