Australasian Grebe

(Tachybaptus novaehollandiae)

Sightings

Australasian Grebes can be found on water surfaces in large parts of New South Wales. The photos displayed below were made at our former neighbour's billabong, 20 km south of Narrabri, New South Wales.

Several sightings in the Narrabri area after the significant rainfalls of May/June 2007.
