Remember, remember...

Having previously watched the Grebes' courtship dances, their nest building and egg laying, it was a real treat to finally see them out on the river with their new family.

Sunshine, Grebes & Kingfishers

I received a surprise email on Monday from Brian, a friend and fellow photographer. This lead to a few more emails, a phone call and ultimately a very pleasant afternoon by the river.
