Great Crested Grebe & Chick

So you think you can dance? The long-necked Great Crested Grebe (Podiceps cristatus) sure can. This bird can be found across a wide range that includes parts of Africa, Western Europe, and New Zealand. During mating season, males sport reddish plumes on their heads, which they use in elaborate courtship displays that include wing flapping, synchronised swimming, head shaking, and even underwater diving.
