Slavonian Grebe in snow

Uploaded: February 24, 2011

Description

Have started working on a new project being a pair of Slavonian Grebes. They have been on my "to do" list for a long time so glad I was able to finally find a pair of these scarse little beauties...

As it was snowing yesterday I will not start out with an image of both of them close-up but would like to share this one Slavonian Grebe in snowfall.

greetings,

Jeroen Stel
