It is not often that I get the chance to observe these birds up close. Maybe just once a year, when the chicks are leaving the nest and are not very good at hiding yet. The following photos were all taken in the early morning hours of just one day. Through a small opening in the bush I could see part of the river where the family was hanging out. Without a proper blind I had to be real careful not to expose myself. Dangling leaves blocking the view caused the greenish blurry spots.
Just as well I bought the Nikon D750 and hooked it up to my 300 mm 2.8 plus t c 1.4! Thus I had to crop a lot, but I think the results aren't too bad.
The 3 of them spent many hours diving for food but all they could manage were sticks and leaves. They didn't not recognize anything edible yet.
One got tired and took a rest quite close to my hide-out. Lucky!!
Good evening.
