Little
Grebe (or
dabchicks as they are sometimes known as) is
a regular but uncommon visitor to Øygarden,
usually turning up in the late autumn or winter. There seem to be two
types of occurrence, normal migration in the autumn and hard weather
movements later in the winter. The
species prefers sheltered bays on the west side of Øygarden
and is most often observed on the sea. Occasionally
they turn up on freshwater - invariably at Tjeldstø. They
are masters of concealment and can quite easily dive and vanish
entirely, hiding in seaweed with only their beaks above the surface.
Typical shot, interesting vortex as it dives though...
