Yesterday, I interrupted my journey home from work to take some photos on a river bank. I’d regularly seen the reflections of the reeds in the river on my way to work in the morning, and wanted to capture them. As it turned out, the breeze was too strong, so the reflections were distorted by the waves. Instead, I discovered a pair of Great Crested Grebes – the first time I’d seen them close up in real life. They even performed their mating dance for me, which is beautiful to watch. It was worth lugging my camera and tripod to work and back!
