Black-necked Grebe

Taken a while back. Just a single bird on site at the time I found the bird. For obvious reasons I wont be publishing the place this bird was. For other friends who don't know as much about birds I'll explain. Certain birds are rare breeders and need more protection than others. These are schedule 1 birds. It's illegal to disturb them in breeding season at a nesting site. You also need a licence to photograph these birds. The reason for the strict rules are to protect the well being of the birds and to help increase the chances of successful breeding.
 




The eye on the reflection looks a little fake, Can't explain why, haven't changed any colour levels etc
