Étang de Vaccares, Bouches-du-Rhône, France. 18.02.2005. Original blog post.

A raft of Black-necked Grebes was bouncing up and down on the swell of the Étang de Vaccares, a big lagoon in the Camargue National Park. Getting photos of the ones that were dozing was considerably easier than the awake ones, which dived a lot. The strong wind didn't help much, either...
