A Black-necked Grebe (Podiceps nigricollis) swimming on a small lake in Southern England


The Black-necked Grebe (Podiceps nigricollis), known in North America as the Eared Grebe, is a member of the Podicipedidae or the grebe family of water birds. This species is present in parts of Africa, Eurasia, and the Americas. This species is one of the most inefficient fliers among birds. Generally, it avoids flying at all costs and reserves long-distance flight exclusively for migration.
