Thankyou those crowns are fantastic and are used for many different situations, and produce many different shapes,the one on the right reminds me of a butterfly.

I bet, I don't think those birds live where I do, I don't think I ever saw them.

yeah I think the most stiking water fowls we have here are the great Blue Herons, we don't even have swans here lol. I will say I love the loons tho, but you only hear them out in the country I won;t hear them much if at all here in the city one of few things I will miss about living in the country in the summer and the owl I would hear outside...

Cheers for the pics, well we don't have your loons but two species very similar indeed. the Black-throated diver
and red throated diver. i have never seen them as they are quite rare and only in Scotland and along our coast lines.
shame rspb doesn't have the sounds!!!!!

Thanks yes these are from a mating ritual. I've seen plenty of head dancing over the years but never the
the walking on water part, where they present weed to each other.A beautiful spectacle.
