Great Crested Grebe -Podiceps cristatus

An elegant aquatic bird with a very distinctive appearance with the crest being its most notable feature. These Grebes were once hunted for their feathers which were used as decorations in hats and were almost wiped out in Britain, but the population recovered due to great conservation methods.
