Monochrome chestnut (Podiceps cristatus)

We moved on to Lintrathen Loch and the star of the show for me there that day was a nice close Great Crested Grebe.

I've seen them there many times (and at Loch of the Lowes too), but they always seemed to be right on the edge of too far for my previous cameras. This one came well within range of my P950. Still a big crop though.

Monochrome it is, with the Grebe on centre stage, Delia.

Captivating shot!
