First bird shoot in a long time for me, felt pretty good :D

We had been tipped off about some young long-eared owls and...

Oh hi!

Got a common moorhen

And to top things off all three of us got a chance to pop some shots of this slavonian grebe from just a few meters away.

Wikipedia has a whole bunch of funny names for this, I guess most of you know it as horned grebe and then there's devil-diver, hell-diver, pink-eyed diver and water witch :lol3

Dive dive dive!
