Grebes are unusual and fascinating birds, with spectacular courtship behaviour and floating nests which enable them to spend their entire lives in water. This book provides a comprehensive account of their origin and evolution, biology, and how they have adapted to exploit their environment, illustrated with maps and line figures.
