Thanks! Yes, they are very beautiful in mating plumage.
There's a rare Slavonian Grebe knocking around RSPB St Aidans which also has gorgeous mating plumage but i wasn't able to find it yesterday.

We have them but they are very alert, and no way to get such a beautiful close up. Unless you spend hours or find a tame one.
All the best
