Watching the Great Crested Grebe courtship is certainly one of the most impressive natural experiences our local nature has to offer. The highlight of the courtship is the "penguin dance", in which the partners stretch chest to chest high out of the water, paddling with their feet while holding nesting material in their beaks, which is later used to build the nest. The picture was taken early in the morning with the sun rising and a light morning mist over the water, which gives the picture a very special atmosphere and nothing distracts from the dancing pair of great crested grebes.
