Western Grebe Courtship Behaviour - Click image to view larger!

Thanks for viewing/comments! It's not the best of shot since they caught me off guard

shooting at a high angle from far away but it's an interesting shot ... one keeps draping

the other with the reed as though it's a crowning ceremony ... as saying - From this

day on you are my crowning Queen/King (I have no idea which one is male or female).

:-)

Take a look at these videos :

Very interesting. Thanks for the links for video. Really nice.

Regards, Wobby

Thanks Wobby! I find these birds behaviour so interesting ...  :-)

This is an excellent shot.....tack sharp and great variegated colors in the water contrasting.  Thanks so much for the links.  The first one in particular is spectacular!  It must have been fun watching this courtship!

Thanks Christal! Yes, I like the first video very much and I will have to e-mail the owner to ask for the name of that music. He did it so well the music climax at the right place when the birds begin to dance ...  . I have not been able to get more shot like this but I am coming to this lake when I can (got rained on last Saturday).
