Slavonian
and Red-necked Grebes are always popular with birders. Over much of
Europe they are an uncommon sight - even in winter when they become
largely coastal birds. Red-necked Grebe is one of the two commonest
grebes in Øygarden - seen migrating past Skogsøy
or as a scarce but regular winter visitor. As with the other grebes
this species is frustratingly difficult to photograph.
