	Little Grebe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Little Grebe, Tachybaptus ruficollis, or Dabchick is, at 23-29 cm in length, the smallest European member of the grebe family of water birds.
		Most birds move to more open or coastal waters in winter, but it is only migratory in those parts of its range where the waters freeze.
		One Cornish bird interbred with a vagrant Pied-billed Grebe.

	Little Grebe, Tachybaptus ruficollis
		Little grebes breed on ponds, small lakes and meres, flooded gravel pits and beet factory settling ponds.
		Little grebes may be expected in the vicinity of Breydon Water all year; up to 20 breeding pairs occupy reedy dykes at Berney and alongside the south wall.
		Little grebe breeding range extends right across central and southern Europe as far as southern Sweden and the Baltic States.

		The little grebe's feathers are soft on their back, silky on its chest and stomach, with a crest or ear-tufts on its head.
		In the breeding season, the Little Grebe has a fl head with a rust colored band on either side of its head and neck and a yellow patch on the base of its beak.
		Little Grebes are monogamous and territorial, breeding usually between September and January.

	Little grebe - Tachybaptus ruficollis - ARKive
		The little grebe is also known as the dabchick and is the smallest member of the grebe family.
		From a distance, little grebes appear to be all fl but through binoculars and in good light, you can make out a chestnut brown patch on the throat and side of the neck.
		The little grebe’s presence is usually given away by their loud whinnying trill and their ‘bee-eep’ calls.

		This little hornero is mainly exciting because it is one of those birds that is largely restricted in Ecuador to the islands in the Río Napo.

	Little grebe - Tachybaptus ruficollis: More Information - ARKive
		The little grebe can be found across most of Britain and Ireland with the exception of Shetland and parts of the West Country.
		Grebes are primarily fish-eaters and the little grebe is no exception, but as it takes smaller fish than others in its family, they can establish themselves on ponds that are too small to accommodate big fish.
		Little grebes are not thought to be threatened in the UK, although they are listed as a Species of European Conservation Concern.

	Grebe page
		The grebes are an ancient family going back 80 million years, well-represented in the fossil record, and not closely related to any other birds (Llimona and del Hoyo 1992).
		I consider them great little birds, equally enchanting for their loud cackling calls when hidden in the reeds, and their habitat of sinking slowly under the surface like a submarine retreating from periscope depth.
		Although there are five genera in the grebes, each is basically a variation on the same theme, and it is always easy to tell that a grebe is a grebe.

	Little Grebe - Lamington National Park
		The little grebe has a small, brownish-grey body, a dark grey head and back of neck, and a pale chin and throat.
		In the breeding season, however, this grebe has a fl head with a rufous stripe either side of the head and neck as well as a distinctive yellow patch on the base of its bill.
		Interestingly, grebes eat their own feathers which are believed to make a sharp plug in the outlet of the stomach that prevents indigestible material from entering the intestines.

	Tachybaptus ruficollis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Little Grebes or Dabchicks are so dumpy in shape that they can look just like a ball of fluff floating on the water.
		They are the smallest and probably the commonest British grebes and they can be identified not just by their characteristic shape but also by the pale yellow spot at the base of the bill which becomes more obvious in the breeding season.
		In all plumages they show less contrast than other grebes, their cheeks and throat being dark chestnut in summer and dull buff rather than white in winter.

		THIS is the least of the Grebe tribe, weighing only between six and seven ounces, and measuring to the rump ten inches, to the end of the toes thirteen, and about sixteen from tip to tip of the wings.
		The little Grebe is a true aquatic, for it seldom quits the water, nor ventures beyond the sedgy margins of the lake where it has taken up its abode.
		She lays from four to six eggs, of a yellowish dull white, and is said to cover them up, with the surrounding leaves, every time she has occasion to stir abroad.

		Of all grebes observed, nearly 90% (2665/3018) were found in sheltered coastal waters.
		Thus, an estimate of at least 3000 Little Grebes wintering in Denmark seems reasonable.

		The Little Grebe is not monitored well by the CBC, WBS or BBS, and each survey shows a different pattern of population change.
		The decline shown by the WBS may reveal problems among birds on linear waterways in the early 1980s, while the increase shown by the CBC may suggest that wider populations (including small still waters) are healthy.
