Went to Østensjøvannet in Oslo this afternoon.
Hope you like my presentation of
THE GREAT CRESTED GREBE (Podiceps Cristatus).
The great crested grebe is leaving this place between September and November
for Western Europe.
We are very happy to see them back between March and April.
For more birds look at World Bird Wednesday.
Lovely shots of a beautiful bird.
SvarSlettI'm lucky to have them all the year round here.
Wonderful captures of the Great-crested Grebe!
SvarSlettA beautiful photo essay!
SvarSlettLove the reflections you captured as well.

SvarSlettSo beautiful captured. Its a very nice bird and I love thr reflections in the water!
SvarSlettThese are lovely, artistic shots! The Grebe is a beautiful bird.
SvarSlettWhat a pretty place to capture the Grebe. I also love how you got great reflections of him.
SvarSlettJasså, vært i nabolaget mitt! :) Østensjøvannet er jo en perle, og jeg ferdes der ofte. Hadde du vært der noen dager før hadde vi kanskje møttes!
SvarSlettLikte veldig godt bilde 4 og 5. Alle er faktisk fine - men de virker roligere i vannspeilingen. Men søren - de fine endene der så ikke jeg da jeg var der!
Ellers tusen takk for de fine ordene hos meg. BLir glad over å være til inspirasjon - og det var jo nettopp slik jeg lærte: andre gav og gir meg inspirasjon! Og så lærer man underveis!
Grebes are lovely to watch all year round.
SvarSlettI never tire of seeing them and your images are stunning to view.
Excellent shots! I love the reflections of these exotic looking grebes. How did your pigeon crisis work out by the way? Hope all is well!
SvarSlettfina bilder på Skäggdoppingen. :)

SvarSlettMy favourites are the first and fourth photos;o)
