Great crested grebe/Podiceps cristatus
the photographing became in the lake Kerkini,
one from the more important water biotopes in Europe,
here we have a male individual after jealousy battle,
is found still on excitation,
we see from his inflated plume

σκουφοβουτηχτάρι/Podiceps cristatus
η φωτογράφηση έγινε στη λίμνη Κερκίνη,
έναν από τους σημαντικότερους υγροβιοτόπους στην Ευρώπη,
εδώ έχουμε ένα αρσενικό άτομο μετά από μάχη αντιζηλίας,
βρίσκεται ακόμα σε διέγερση,
το βλέπουμε από το σηκωμένο σκούφο του.

Hello Nasos,
thank you for your pleasant comments and choice as favourite photography;
a beautiful capture of Great crested Grebetaken with a good timing to show the marvellous plumage, but the distance prevents to admire entirely this beauty, i like the splendid colours and the nice surface of the water;
i have also photographed this beautiful bird.
TFS.
Best regards.

Hello Nasos.

Congratulations for that photography from the Great crested grebe. Very good sharpness as well as very good depth of field. I appreciate the colors (pure blue) of the water, complementing the colors from the bird. Interesting comments also.

Thank you very much for the sharing.

All the best.

Philippe.
