An intimate moment

Unlike ducks, and particularly mallards, who don't seem to want any privacy for their intimate moments, the Great Crested Grebes seem to be a bit more camera shy.  

Just like with the avocets, the female Grebe very much takes the lead, keeping still in a prone position to show that she is willing, and eventually with a little coaxing, the male remembers what he's supposed to be doing. This particular event, was amazingly even quicker than the avocets lasting a few short seconds only.
