Lakescape - 513 (Tachybaptus ruficollis)

And here's the
lovely little
darling ...

The Dabchick or
Little Grebe ...
... derriere

... whom I would
love to label as
' The soul of wetlands '

The Indian subspecies
of Dabchick has
yellow iris ... while the
others have red irides ...

This is the 4th of the
5 species of
Grebes found in India

... the one
left is the
Red-necked Grebe ... a
rare winter visitor
that I'm yet to
record ...

There will be some
new repeat images of
various species as
I've now a good number
of them ...
