Hi Steve,
There are several subspecies of Little Grebe. No split that I know of. Little
Grebe occurs in Eurasia, North Africa and sub-saharan Africa (including parts
of Madagascar).
There are two distinct species in Madagascar (one of which is most probably
extinct: Alaotra Grebe, aka Delacour's Little Grebe; the other one - Madagascar
Grebe - is threatened).
To complete the Tachybaptus list: there are Australasian Grebe here and Least
Grebe in the subtropical and tropical Americas.

Subject: [Birding-Aus] Eurasian Little Grebe
Hi All,
Just returned from Darwin where we were greeted with the arrival of the
Eurasian Little Grebe. Nice!!
The question is:
Is this bird the same as the African Little Grebe or has it been split in
the recent flurry of Taxidermic changes?
Cheers
