Grebe Little Grebe tachybaptus ruficollis Metochi Lesvos 18/05/13		 Still uncertain about this bird as I originally thought it to be slender billed larus genei.However the size of the birds bill and the size of the ear spot would appear to point in the direction of black headed.

Wonderful collection of your native birds. It is a lifetime worth of pictures. It must have taken you an immense amount of time and effort to put it all together. Thank you for presenting the collection to us.
