Christmas Grebes


There were a dozen or so Black Necked Grebes around christmas in the port at Kamiiso.............




One of my fave birds even in winter plumage.............



They were catching little fish..................


Due a grey colourless background their red eyes stand out even more.

  1. Those red eyes really stand out when their in eclipse plumage and the background is muted like that.

    1. Hi Phil, don't think I've ever even seen one in the UK.
