Original – Great Crested Grebe (Podiceps cristatus), Lake Dulverton, Oatlands, Tasmania, Australia
Reason
Various subspecies of this bird appear across Asia and Europe. It is certainly Australia's largest and most attractive grebe. Not that many are found in Tasmania. Years ago they used to breed at Lake Dulverton, where this photo was taken, but the lake had been dry for a number of years because of a drought. Fortunately, there is water in the lake again, and a number of these Great Crested Grebe are around. A few trips and considerable patience in a hide has allowed me to get this photo.
