Hi Folks,
Sorry to revisit this but I am going through the IOC updates and noticed that the Little Grebe has been split into 2, Little and Tricolour.
IOC states:
ruficollis (Pallas, 1764) Little Grebe EU, AF, OR widespread
ruficollis (Pallas, 1764) Europe to the Ural Mts. and nw Africa
albescens (Blanford, 1877) Caucasus to Burma and Sri Lanka
iraquensis (Ticehurst, 1923) Iraq, sw Iran
capensis (Salvadori, 1884) Africa s of the Sahara, Madagascar
poggei (Reichenow, 1902) ne to se Asia, Kuril Is., Japan, Taiwan
philippensis (Bonnaterre, 1791) Philippines (except Mindanao)
cotabato (Rand, 1948) Mindanao (Philippines)
tricolor (Gray, GR, 1861) Tricolored Grebe OR, AU Java, Sulawesi, Lesser Sundas, New Guinea, Solomon Is.
vulcanorum (Rensch, 1929) Sulawesi, n Moluccas to New Guinea
tricolor (Gray, GR, 1861) Java and Timor, the Lesser Sundas
collaris (Mayr, 1945) ne New Guinea to Bougainville I. (Solomon Is.)
Anyone know what the 2008 vagrant was?? Range would suggest “Tricolor”
Cheers

Hi Steve,
There are several subspecies of Little Grebe. No split that I know of. Little Grebe occurs in Eurasia, North Africa and sub-saharan Africa (including parts of Madagascar). There are two distinct species in Madagascar (one of which is most probably extinct: Alaotra Grebe, aka Delacour’s Little Grebe; the other one – Madagascar Grebe – is threatened). To complete the Tachybaptus list: there are Australasian Grebe here and Least Grebe in the subtropical and tropical Americas.

Steve,
Thanks for that. A nice little armchair tick.
