A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Project Noah Nature School
Podiceps cristatus
They have an elaborate courtship display in which they rise out of the water and shake their heads.
This bird breeds in vegetated areas of freshwater lakes. The subspecies P. c. cristatus is found across Europe and Asia. It resides in the milder west of its range, but migrates from the colder regions. It winters on freshwater lakes and reservoirs or the coast.
Seen in Lake Geneva.

Excellent series
Lovely series Maria!
The Wild Love mission is indeed local to India.
The user created missions were designed to encourage users to explore their local area. It was never the intention to create a huge number of new global missions - we want to keep them at a manageable number so that users can easily navigate the missions "menu". We will be reviewing requests to extend the range of certain missions, but we have a small management team and they are focused at the moment on rolling out site improvements and some other projects like the new education feature so we appreciate your patience!
Fantastic capture.
It would indeed make a nice global mission. I requested a global mission for animals spotted in wildlife rescue and rehabilitation centers but didn't receive a response because I think PNoah doesn't allow any new global missions. But some of them seem to make sense as global missions. I'll think about adding it to that mission but I don't think they want us to do that. Thanks for the tip, Apple!
Would make a good worldwide mission...
Appears to be local to India but has spottings worldwide in it....
Ok, maybe it's a local..didn't check. Here's the link http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/9068...
I don't see the wild love mission under global missions....
Absolutely fantastic! You should add this to the Wild Love mission.
Thanks, Christy. It was fun watching them in action.
Beautiful!
