On August 15th Arthur and I visited one of our favorite birding spots, Vogelplas Starrevaart. We spent some time watching birds from the blind. This Great Crested Grebe having a nap on the water was one of the birds we saw.
Bird Photography Weekly is a regular collection of user-submitted bird photos from all over the world. The new edition comes out every Sunday. Go have a look at this week’s submissions!
I love grebes and this one is a beauty! Nice photos Amy! I feel like I’m getting closer, wondering if the bird is going to wake.
Great photos. Does the bird have its eye just a little bit open in the first photo? Its completely closed in the last one.
I like the way those Grebes sleep and show their white breast – like that they’re easy to identify 🙂
Looks like a great place to take a nap- assuming you don’t get motion sickness AND there are no predators around…
Great photo of the Great Crested Grebe. Looks like it was getting a nice nap!
Great photos I would prefer calm water if it was me.
I love Grebes too. This series of photos of the Great-crested Grebe taking a siesta are beautiful Amy!
That’s pretty cool. Nice job Amy.
A guy’s gotta sleep sometime. 🙂
Great shots! I wish I could sleep like that!
great shots of it. It is not that easy to get so close to them. 🙂
