Editing Little grebe (section)

==Distribution==
This bird breeds in small colonies in heavily vegetated areas of freshwater lakes across Europe, much of [[Asia]] down to [[New Guinea]], and most of [[Africa]]. Most birds move to more open or coastal waters in winter, but it is only [[bird migration|migratory]] in those parts of its range where the waters freeze. Outside of breeding season, it moves into more open water, occasionally even appearing on the coast in small bays.<ref name=IUCN/>
