I have been at the lake Hornborgasjön many times to see and possibly take photographs of the Black-necked grebe (or the Eared grebe) - one of the rarest birds of Sweden - but so far without success! It is usually claimed that there are only 40 pairs at Hornborgasjön - and possibly in the whole of Sweden... I have pictures of this speices from Africa - in the almost black and white winter plumage - but this was the first time ever in Sweden and in breeding plumage. Furthermore, I was lucky to capture a moment of feeding in this little grebe family!
