Nature with Steve

This snoozing Great Crested #Grebe sums up my activity here over the last 9 months! Last Summer I was diagnosed with a thyroid problem, which hit me quite hard. Meds have enabled me to resume some activities—including a few photo trips here & there this year—but progress in sorting out the underlying issue has been slow. Stopping medication ahead of a scan last week also set me back a bit! I hope this will be the start of me posting pics on a regular basis again. 🤞🏻 #Birds #Nature #Photography

A Great Crested Grebe (Podiceps cristatus). The bird, on the surface of a small lake, is facing towards the right side of the image. He or she is snoozing, so the longish neck is doubled back, allowing the head to rest on the bird’s back. The longish, pointed beak is tucked into the bird’s feathers, while the dark red eye (with black pupils) is closed. Fully visible however is the well-developed crest of black feathers on top of the head, and the ruff of feathers (orange at the base, turning to black) around the neck. The side of the face is white, as is the front of the neck. The upper parts of the bird’s body (the underparts are below the water-line) are brownish.
