Great crested grebes

These grebes are my favourite birds. Why? The behaviour is so much more varied than in most other bird species. They have elaborate courtship rituals and deliver spectacular fights. After that, they raise the most adorable chicks. At first on their backs, later on, foraging as a family together. I love to observe their feeding behaviour, constantly fishing and bringing fish almost as large as their chicks for them to eat. I have been photographing grebes for over two decades and am still not bored.
