Little grebe / Zwergtaucher / Tachybaptus ruficollis
This bird has been evading me for quite a few weeks now, joined recently by a couple of muskrats. It was still a bit far away. In the summer, I can't see it for all the leaves. Needless to say, it seems to spend more time underwater than above. (Winter plumage - Ruhekleid)

I have only ever seen one, originally in summer, but a couple of weeks ago, later than usual, on a dismal day, I suddenly saw it on the town side of the river, near the theatre, right under my nose! I didn't recognize the winter colouring at first. I really messed up what chances I had, and the 'blubb' was very quick to come. Since then I have seen it only by the opposite bank, which is more difficult to take photos from.
I think the trick is to go out when the weather is bad so no-one else is out, before the leaves come. It surely must come to the other bank some time.
