Great Crested Grebe - Podiceps cristatus (juvenile) Pairi Daiza, Aug 2014. <br /> <br /> These babies are the noisiest of any lake/pond in Belgium. You can hear their cheerful call at quite a distance. I guess this is an adaptation for the parents to locate stranded babies but I always wonder on the effect this may have to also atract predators...
