My life is so beautiful, it dazzles my eyes!

The Little Grebe also known as "Dabchick" is a small water bird.
Any lake or reasonably large pond with plenty of vegetation is likely to have at least one pair of these "rockstar" looking birds in residence.
The little grebe has lobed toes rather than webbed and is an excellent swimmer and diver and pursues its fish and aquatic invertebrate prey underwater. It uses the vegetation skilfully as a hiding place.
