THE GKEAT CRESTED GREBE. 



Seebohm says that it has not hitherto been known to 

 breed in Scotland, but that it nests in some parts of England 

 and Ireland. 1 



It feeds generally on fish, frogs, and aquatic insects, and 

 numbers of its feathers are usually found mixed with the 

 food in its stomach on dissection.
