Grèbe huppé ( Podiceps cristatus ) Focus Distance : 33.50 m

            Le Grèbe huppé effectue des parades nuptiales élaborées. Les deux partenaires sont face à face avec les plumes de la tête dressées, rendant les couleurs très flamboyantes. 
On peut observer plusieurs phases, en fait, il existe cinq séries de parades rituelles. 
Ils commencent par des cris d'avertissement lancés par l'un ou l'autre des partenaires. Les parades ont lieu sur l'eau, ou du moins les premières phases. La parade typique est la « cérémonie du balancement de tête » qui est une introduction à d'autres phases plus spectaculaires. 
Les deux oiseaux sont en face l'un de l'autre avec le cou tendu tandis qu'ils secouent leurs têtes de haut en bas et d'un côté à l'autre. Cette parade est silencieuse.
*************************************************************

The Great Crested Grebe performs elaborate courtship displays. The two partners are face to face with the feathers of the head erect, making the colors very flamboyant.
We can observe several phases, in fact, there are five series of ritual parades.
They begin with cries of warning by one or other of the partners. The parries take place on the water, or at least the first phases. The typical parade is the "Swing Ceremony" which is an introduction to other more spectacular phases.
The two birds face each other with their necks outstretched as they shake their heads up and down and from side to side. This parade is silent.
