Unexpected plumage: Slavonian Grebe, 30-06-2023, David Bennie, undisclosed, Highland
I visited this location on 3/7/2016 when adults, while losing ear tufts were still colourful and young were still downy with usual grebe patterned heads. I think the small line on the cheek makes this a young bird, rather than an adult?

My pleasure at this unexpected find was quickly diminished when I realised this bird was not well.
