I had ro laugh, that young great crested grebe's takeoff somehow reminds me of the ungainliness of a duck's waddle. Nice shots all three.

Fab egret and grebe shots. I had not heard of a Great Crested Grebe before. I of all folks do so appreciate flight shots, too. I know how hard that it. Keep 'em comin'!

Thanks Robin.
The Great Crested Grebe is an elegant waterbird with ornate head plumes, and because of these, they were hunted for their feathers, almost leading to their extermination from the UK.
