OUTSTANDING!!!! I told you to be patient and that you'll get this shot! OUTSTANDING!

You need to put a title for this image, something like "Western Grebe Mating Ritual" for anyone who searches it. Beautiful picture, excellent exposure on their white chests, I like how their heads are in sync. Did you get to see the whole ritual? I heard it's very complex.

They don't always do it all at the same time. Usually they do the head syncing, then the dance other times they just do the leave ceremony by itself. The whole event seems rather random.

Wow ... both sharp too - well done!

Perfect timing! So difficult to get two western grebes with enough dof to be sharp. Best regards, Linh Dinh
