Black-necked Grebes

            This beautiful bird is about the size of a moorhen, because of which it can be easily overlooked. Its golden ear tufts, which in America gives it the name 'Eared Grebe', contrasts strikingly with its black head and neck and piercing red eyes. A diving waterbird, it feeds on small fish and aquatic invertebrates. Although widley distributed thoughout the world, it flies thousands of miles to its breeding ground, which tend to be shallow, well-vegetated lakes and water courses. Typically, towards the end of May young chicks can be seen on their parents' back, one each on the male and female alike. Happy days ahead for these two!

Many thanks for your welcome comments.
