Australasian Grebes congregating Lake Monger. The Australasian Grebe (Tachybaptus novaehollandiae) is a small grebe, very similar to the Dabchick. It is found throughout Australia, and mostly prefers freshwater habitats, even small ones like farm dams. It is mainly carnivorous, diving for its prey and eating small fish, shrimps and aquatic insects. The nest is a floating mound of vegetation, and the striped chicks are cared for by both parents and are often carried on their parents’ backs when small. Australasian Grebes are mostly seen singly, or in pairs. A large irruption of post-breeding Australasian Grebes and occurred on Lake Monger in Perth in March 2018, and this clip shows part of it. Elevation: 13 m. Date added to IBC: March 19, 2018.
