Little grebe - Tachybaptus ruficollis
A few days ago during my short stay in Greece, I visited for a couple of hours the Kalochori lagoon, part of the Axios Delta National Park.
The Axios Delta National Park is a haven for wildlife and a dream for birders. In a wetland complex of 340 square kilometers, the deltas of the rivers Axios and Aliakmon, the estuaries of the Gallikos and Loudias rivers, and the wetlands of Nea Agathoupoli and Alyki Kitrous create a broad biodiversity. A great variety of mammals, reptiles, amphibians and, very notably, more than 300 species of birds.
For 2 hours I managed to photograph a few bird species still not added to JD from Greece. This is one of them.
The Little Grebe, also known as Dabchick, is a member of the grebe family of water birds. At 23 to 29 cm in length it is the smallest European member of its family. It is commonly found in open bodies of water across most of its range.
