Great Crested Grebe (Podiceps cristatus)
They are the largest European grebes with slender white necks in all plumages. In winter the face is mostly pale with just a narrow black, slightly crested, cap. In summer this pattern develops into elaborate black and chestnut plumes called tippets. In flight they appear hump-backed with conspicuously pale panels in the long narrow wings.
Breeds on lakes, gravel pits, reservoirs and slow moving rivers. Winters on estuaries, lakes and reservoirs.
About 300,000 pairs breed throughout Europe.

Hi Maciej
This is a nicely composed shot. I like how these two are facing opposite directions. The image ia a bit dark and a bit too much background. There is also a lot of noise in the image. I have uploaded a workshop.
