Grebe on course

A swimming grebe in the sleek and mirror-smooth water of the Spaarbekken in Purmerend. The grebe is common in Europe, with the exception of part of Scandinavia. It is also seen in South Africa. The grebe has a distinctive appearance. It has two dark ear tufts above a white head that has a black stripe between the eye and beak. The bill is long and pointed. The plumage is white on the underside and rusty brown on top.
The Netherlands is a permanent habitat for the grebe and is common there. The grebe mostly seen in lakes and ponds.

Hi there! Nice seeing you here! I'm Jan vd Knaap, a photographer in Utrecht. I normally deal with portrait photography, for humans and animals, and I give workshops to get the most out of the camera. But in the meantime, I fill my account here with photos that I like. That can actually be anything, ranging from seasonal photos to macro photography, or abstract to landscapes and locations. The Netherlands is a beautiful country and beautiful photos can be found everywhere. Whether in my hometown of Utrecht, Amsterdam, Purmerend, Hoorn or Leiden, I always have my camera with me and I always come home with new work. So in practice I work throughout the Netherlands. Take a look in my portfolio for beautiful work on your wall, and also visit my website at https://www.candela-fotografie.nl! With kind regards, Jan vd Knaap, Utrecht
