Great Crested Grebe

Great crested grebe, Porto Mediceo, Livorno
I caught this bird swimming in the Porto Mediceo. I was able to identify it as a great crested grebe only with the help of my legendary friend Stefano and his encyclopedic knowledge of animals and plants.

Nice of the bird to turn its head and give you this pretty profile picture.
