Hi Folks,
Sorry to revisit this but I am going through the IOC updates and noticed
that the Little Grebe has been split into 2, Little and Tricolour.
IOC states:
ruficollis (Pallas, 1764)
Little Grebe EU, AF, OR
widespread
ruficollis (Pallas,
1764)
Europe to the Ural Mts. and nw Africa
albescens (Blanford,

tricolor (Gray, GR, 1861)
Tricolored Grebe OR, AU
Java, Sulawesi, Lesser Sundas, New Guinea, Solomon Is.
vulcanorum (Rensch, 1929)

tricolor (Gray, GR,

Anyone know what the 2008 vagrant was?? Range would suggest "Tricolor"

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.

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?
