Little grebe; Zampullín Chico

Tachybaptus ruficollis

Description:

They can be told from other small Grebes by the flash of white just below the eye and bill, visible in this picture behind a reed.

Habitat:

Coastal marshes

Notes:

These can be very difficult to photograph when they are feeding as they spend 90% of their time under water, coming up just for a couple of seconds every minute or so in unpredictable places!
