Great crested grebe

Podiceps cristatus

Description:

This is the same juvenile as in my previous spotting but with his mom. He kept begging for food but I think the mom is teaching him to find food by himself :-) It was difficult to make nice pics because we were in a small boat moving with the current and the grebes sort of circling around us (or we around them).

Habitat:

Lake in Giethoorn, Holland.
