Having had our fill at the lake we drove to a local pond where we could find a whole host of species, most of all the Grebes and Ruddy Ducks as well as a few surprise species. Our approach was to get into the water with our camera equipment, a slightly daunting prospect but I knew it would be well worth it. As time went by the birds got acclimatised to the strange looking figures in the water and we were able to get some incredibly intimate photographs of these beautiful birds.
