The Australasian crested grebe has a fine, sharp bill, slender neck and head with a distinctive black double crest. Their cheeks have chestnut frills, fringed black. Their legs are set well back on their bodies to enhance their diving skills, at the expense of mobility on land. For this reason, the birds rarely, if ever, come ashore.
