COMMENTS: Great Crested Grebe pair over Sacalaia lake (Pike lake). Sacalaia lake is a natural reserve. The one from right is the male and the other one is the female. They where exactly in the mating period. I saw a few grebes executing the ritual but they where very far. The great crested grebe mating ritual is those kind of moments that I categorize as wonders of nature. I will post a picture as workshop with the ritual, but that is a 100% crop. Those grebes where over 100m away.
