Great-Crested Grebe - Wildlife Photo

Great-Crested Grebe captures the quiet grace of this distinctive waterbird gliding across the still blue waters of Watermead in Buckinghamshire. With its pointed beak and striking crest, the grebe is perfectly framed by gentle ripples that reflect the clear sky, creating a peaceful, minimalist composition.

Taken as part of my Buckinghamshire wildlife photography collection, this photo highlights the beauty and poise of one of Britain’s most elegant water birds. The Great-Crested Grebe is a familiar sight on lakes and waterways across the UK, known for its elaborate courtship displays and smooth, silent movements through the water.

This wildlife photo reflects the calm, natural atmosphere of Watermead and celebrates the diversity of birdlife found across the Buckinghamshire countryside — a perfect example of British wildlife photography at its most serene.
