Black-necked grebe
The black-necked grebe is a small water bird with a striking coral red eye.
As an excellent swimmer and diver, he pursues its prey underwater, eating mostly fish as well as small crustaceans, aquatic insects and larvae.
He prefers to escape danger by diving rather than flying because it is one of the most inefficient fliers among avifauna.
My shot shows the grebe in its breeding plumage with an all black neck and golden plumes on each side of the head.
(in winter, this bird is white with a poorly defined black neck)
Dutch name : Geoorde fuut
German name : Schwarzhalstaucher
Latin name : Podiceps nigricollis nigricollis
