Little Grebe DSC_4304
Little Grebe / tachybaptus ruficollis. Barton Marina, Staffordshire. 19/01/16.
After an active feeding session yesterday, the LG retreated to a spot under a bridge for a rest.
Often described as rotund, this is particularly evident when they fluff out their feathers and retract their necks.
They become un-birdlike and more akin to a floating, feathered rugby ball I always think.
