Resident throughout the year on the lake in front of the Quinta, but more visible during the winter, Great Crested Grebes prefer still water to running.

At any period of the year one is likely to find them on the Sado, the Plains or the Rio Formosa, where they are abundant.

Great Crested Grebe (Podiceps cristatus)
