June

Young great crested grebes are capable of swimming and diving almost at hatching. The adults teach these skills to their young by carrying them on their back and diving, leaving the chicks to float on the surface; they then re-emerge a few feet away so that the chicks may swim back onto them.

This photo was taken by Judith Borremans in the Netherlands in July 2026 with Canon EOS R1 with Canon 100-500mm at 500mm, f/7.1, 1/1250s, ISO6400.
