As written before, still testing Cameras. This ones were taken with a borrowed 7D MKII. I like the AF System, it´s a lot more advanced than the one of 7D MKI, but still suffering from the same “problems” when taking pictures directly into the sunlight like these ones. So basically i focused manually.
Great Creasted Grebe showing their love. Taken in “Wolziger See”, BRB. Only cropped, not edited.


One of -the- species I am associating Courtship display is the great crested grebe. The male is bringing a present, then they imitate each others movements, they “dance”. After a while they start to run over the water, close together. Iam still waiting for a good shot of this last impressive step.

The Great Crested Crebe Podiceps cristatus has an interesting courtship perfectly mirroring the partners movements. It ends with running over the water. This one did that alone.
