I came across the Surfsee (surf lake) through a local Facebook photo group. II have no idea why it’s called that, because I can’t imagine surfing there. All sorts of birds seemed to be there and even an eagle had appeared. Thanks to Paolo I found the lake, with no eagle, but with lots of people and quite a few animals. Among them was this great crested grebe with its begging offspring. They weren’t difficult to find, because the little one was begging loudly – it was more difficult to get a good photo of the two and I was a bit clumsy that day, which was also due to the lack of time, and scared them away. It’s been a good three weeks now and I hope I can get back to the surf lake soon – then I’ll get in touch with you, Paolo.
