It has been warm, bordering on hot in most places in the UK for the past couple of months, so any activity with a camera is restricted to either end of the day. In fact any real activity is restricted to the ends of the day. Not that it's a problem as once the sun gets up at this time of year the light is, in my view, un-useable.
So, it's down to the lake shortly after sunrise, to see if I can photograph a pair of grebes that have nested there. Conditions are ideal, and an early morning mist all but blocks the rising sun, creating beautiful, diffused light.
The grebes put in an appearance and I get something in the can, but once the sun has burnt-off the mist it's time to retreat for breakfast.
