Solvonian Grebe

Latin name Podiceps auritus

Family Grebes (Podicipedidae)

Overview
Arguably the most attractive of the UK's breeding grebes, with its golden ear tufts and trilling calls. It looks similar to the black-necked grebe in winter but has whiter cheeks which almost meet at the back of the neck. Due to its small breeding population it is an Amber List species.
