Description
The Great Crested Grebe, Podiceps cristatus, is a member of the grebe family of water birds.
Like all grebes, it nests on the water's edge, since its legs are set relatively far back and it is thus unable to walk very well.
Le Grèbe huppé (Podiceps cristatus) est une espèce d'oiseau aquatique de la famille des Podicipédidés. C'est le plus grand de tous les grèbes.
Le nid est généralement un radeau fait de plantes aquatiques, algues et roseaux, rasant la surface de l'eau. Ce nid, reposant sur le fond du plan d'eau, ou flottant et amarré à la végétation, est en général assez peu profond.
