Wow that is the least grebe I have ever seen without seeing the null grebe!

I have been frustrated by grebes a number of times... Oh...Click. Damn! Bird Butt Again!!

Great shot.

I have never seen the least grebe, but I have seen the little grebe (Tachybaptus ruficollis) this year in the city of Hamburg when I was going for a walk after lunch.
