Great Crested Grebe - legs

[Wallaces <>]

Con's image in his diet#3 message shows the magnificent yellow and grey-green 
legs of the bird at Yerrabi Pond. I have included two more images of the legs 
and feet taken from my video. Most of the references describe the legs as just 
olive-green (including HANZAB) with no mention of the yellow. John Gould in 
Handbook to the Birds of Australia (1972 edition) has the closest description I 
have found - "upper surface of the tarsi and toes dark olive-green, under 
surface pale yellow".
