Rob's, @robcrank68.bsky.social, #BirdOfTheDay theme is all about #Grebes, with the alternative being finches. I will go with the latter..

Good morning! Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #grebes. Here's a black-necked gebe, which I saw in the Augsburg Zoo πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ (yes, I saw a lot of birds there). They're very pretty, I especially love the red eyes.

Great Crested Grebes in the golden light.
This was last winter in January, at Ham Wall on the Somerset Levels.
The Starlings were still in full murmuration mode but the grebes were already beginning to think about spring courtship.
