Blacknecked Grebe
Podiceps nigricollis
In May 2000, I saw a large group of Ruddy
Shelducks, Lesser Whistling Teals and Avocets on the Ganga in Allahabad. There
was also a small group of Grebes which I took to be all Dabchicks and did not
pay much attention. The photos below, however, suggest that some were
Black-necked Grebes. In the photo on the left, note that some Grebes are
noticeably leaner and longer necked than the others. And in the photo on the
right, the nearest Grebe has white on the trailing edge of the wing.
