Any one who know Rutland Water will be able to tell you that there is an awful lot of water and quite a bit of it between you and the birds. The position of the hides doesn't help with the lighting either. Anyway, we turned up at one of the hides this morning and it wasn't looking promising - the Osprey nesting platform was some distance away and most of the other birds were either too far away or the bright sunlight was behind them. Not a good combination for any useful photographs. Then two Grebes decided to perform their very intimate matting ritual right next to the hide at just the right angle for the light. Now you some time have to wait hours for this but not today. Within five minutes of sitting down in the hide they performed. Magic. Sometimes it just comes off.
