Slavonian Grebe.
Species: Podiceps auritus.
Summer plumage.
North-east Scotland, UK.
Arguably the most attractive of the UK's breeding grebes, with its golden ear tufts and trilling calls. It looks similar to the black-necked grebe in winter but has whiter cheeks which almost meet at the back of the neck. Due to its small breeding population it is a Red List species. Info: RSPB.
Many thanks to all who view or comment on my photos.
