Eldar this is fantastic! Where did you shoot it?

It is from a lake in Oslo called Østensjøvannet. We have a healthy population of grebes there.

Male Vermilion Flycatcher. These little guys are absolute charmers.

And, here's Ms. Vermilion. Less brilliant, but cute nonetheless.

Beautiful shots, Steven.

Very nice place. I had to drive for many hours (more than 6) to get to a lake to find them! Even then I wasn't as close as I should even with my equipment at maximum reach configuration: 7D2 + 500mm f/4L IS II + 1.4XIII (I didn't dare to use 2XIII but maybe I should). (EDIT) This was my first attempt. Anyway I will try to revisit in a 1 to 1.5 month from now when they will have chicks

By the way I saw your other picture with the one chick. Fantastic too.

Hi Martin.
Nice shots, great expressions.
I often get the impression that they are thinking "I wonder if that big eye staring at me is friendly? Oh well better leave just in case it is foe!" Right before they disappear leaving me with a shot of an empty space where once was a bird.

Cheers, Graham.
