Some species, such as the Mallard and the Coot, are present throughout the year. Others only visit the Lake Geneva region during specific seasons. Like many Alpine lakes, Lake Geneva plays a vital role in the migration of European birds. Whether as a stopover site for autumn or spring migrations, as a resting place in winter or as a breeding ground in spring and summer, each period is of interest. For some species that are 'common' on Lake Geneva, the 'local' numbers are joined in November by a large wintering population from Scandinavia.<\/p><p>The birds present on the lake and its banks are not all ducks. They can be classified into several major groups (non-exhaustive list). Anatidae (surface or diving ducks), laridae (gulls), scolopacidae (waders), podicipedidae (grebes) or rallidae (coot) all have their own physical characteristics.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<details id=\"e-n-accordion-item-1261\" class=\"e-n-accordion-item\" >\n\t\t\t\t<summary class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title\" data-accordion-index=\"2\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"e-n-accordion-item-1261\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-header'><div class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title-text\"> Functions \/ Adaptations <\/div><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-icon'>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-opened' ><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-minus-circle\" viewbox=\"0 0 512 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M256 8C119 8 8 119 8 256s111 248 248 248 248-111 248-248S393 8 256 8zM124 296c-6.6 0-12-5.4-12-12v-56c0-6.6 5.4-12 12-12h264c6.6 0 12 5.4 12 12v56c0 6.6-5.4 12-12 12H124z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-closed'><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-plus-circle\" viewbox=\"0 0 512 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M256 8C119 8 8 119 8 256s111 248 248 248 248-111 248-248S393 8 256 8zm144 276c0 6.6-5.4 12-12 12h-92v92c0 6.6-5.4 12-12 12h-56c-6.6 0-12-5.4-12-12v-92h-92c-6.6 0-12-5.4-12-12v-56c0-6.6 5.4-12 12-12h92v-92c0-6.6 5.4-12 12-12h56c6.6 0 12 5.4 12 12v92h92c6.6 0 12 5.4 12 12v56z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t<div role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-accordion-item-1261\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e27e4cf e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"e27e4cf\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3e75db7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3e75db7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Waterbirds are at the top of the food chain.

In most birds, each feather is made up of two parts. The base of the feathers is downy, while the top makes the plumage waterproof. This lining allows waterbirds to stay afloat without ever suffering from the cold. However, some species of waterbird, such as the Great Cormorant, do not have waterproof plumage. For this great diver, allowing water to enter the plumage means they can reach higher speeds and go deeper to hunt fish. This adaptation has its drawbacks, however, and cormorants need to get out of the water regularly to dry their plumage. Unlike certain species of ducks or larids that gather in dormitories on the water, cormorants spend the night perched in trees on the edge of bodies of water.<\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-18673 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/asleman.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Adaptation-oiseaux.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"2335\" height=\"1445\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asleman.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Adaptation-oiseaux.png 2335w, https:\/\/asleman.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Adaptation-oiseaux-300x186.png 300w, https:\/\/asleman.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Adaptation-oiseaux-1024x634.png 1024w, https:\/\/asleman.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Adaptation-oiseaux-768x475.png 768w, https:\/\/asleman.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Adaptation-oiseaux-1536x951.png 1536w, https:\/\/asleman.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Adaptation-oiseaux-2048x1267.png 2048w, https:\/\/asleman.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Adaptation-oiseaux-18x12.png 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2335px) 100vw, 2335px\" \/><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<details id=\"e-n-accordion-item-1262\" class=\"e-n-accordion-item\" >\n\t\t\t\t<summary class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title\" data-accordion-index=\"3\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"e-n-accordion-item-1262\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-header'><div class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title-text\"> Emblematic species of Lake Geneva <\/div><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-icon'>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-opened' ><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-minus-circle\" viewbox=\"0 0 512 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M256 8C119 8 8 119 8 256s111 248 248 248 248-111 248-248S393 8 256 8zM124 296c-6.6 0-12-5.4-12-12v-56c0-6.6 5.4-12 12-12h264c6.6 0 12 5.4 12 12v56c0 6.6-5.4 12-12 12H124z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-closed'><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-plus-circle\" viewbox=\"0 0 512 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M256 8C119 8 8 119 8 256s111 248 248 248 248-111 248-248S393 8 256 8zm144 276c0 6.6-5.4 12-12 12h-92v92c0 6.6-5.4 12-12 12h-56c-6.6 0-12-5.4-12-12v-92h-92c-6.6 0-12-5.4-12-12v-56c0-6.6 5.4-12 12-12h92v-92c0-6.6 5.4-12 12-12h56c6.6 0 12 5.4 12 12v92h92c6.6 0 12 5.4 12 12v56z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t<div role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-accordion-item-1262\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c0f2e83 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"c0f2e83\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5792615 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5792615\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>\u2663 Species present in our book of determination sheets (<a href=\"https:\/\/boutique.asleman.org\/categorie-produit\/fiches-de-determination\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">sold in our shop<\/a>)<\/p><p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><h3><strong>Podicipedidae: Grebes<\/strong><\/h3><h4><strong>Great crested grebe (<em>Podiceps cristatus)<\/em><\/strong><\/h4><p>A true lake dancer, the Great Crested Grebe normally nests in the<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-18688\" src=\"https:\/\/asleman.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Grebe-300x161.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"161\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asleman.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Grebe-300x161.png 300w, https:\/\/asleman.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Grebe-768x413.png 768w, https:\/\/asleman.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Grebe-18x10.png 18w, https:\/\/asleman.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Grebe.png 999w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\u00a0reed beds.

Like the Scaup, this species tends to be nocturnal in its activities.<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/asleman.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Fuligule-nyroca_3.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6825 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/asleman.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Fuligule-nyroca_3-300x169.jpeg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archives-asl.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Fuligule-nyroca_3-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/archives-asl.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Fuligule-nyroca_3-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/archives-asl.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Fuligule-nyroca_3-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/archives-asl.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Fuligule-nyroca_3-1536x864.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/archives-asl.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Fuligule-nyroca_3-600x338.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/archives-asl.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Fuligule-nyroca_3.jpeg 2048w\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" \/><\/a><em>Photo credit: Kai Taimsalu<\/em><\/p><h4><strong>Goosander\u00a0<em>(Mergus merganser)<\/em><\/strong><\/h4><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-18689\" src=\"https:\/\/asleman.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Harle-femelle-300x127.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"127\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asleman.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Harle-femelle-300x127.png 300w, https:\/\/asleman.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Harle-femelle-1024x433.png 1024w, https:\/\/asleman.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Harle-femelle-768x325.png 768w, https:\/\/asleman.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Harle-femelle-18x8.png 18w, https:\/\/asleman.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Harle-femelle.png 1261w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-18690\" src=\"https:\/\/asleman.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Harle-male-300x122.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"122\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asleman.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Harle-male-300x122.png 300w, https:\/\/asleman.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Harle-male-18x7.png 18w, https:\/\/asleman.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Harle-male.png 737w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Often confused with the great crested grebe, the goosander has a larger, more elongated body. The female is uniformly grey with a ruffled reddish-brown head. The male has white flanks and a black back and head. A fish-eater, the Merganser's legs are particularly set back to act as propellers underwater. Goosander nest in cavities in old trees near the lake. Once hatched, the chicks jump from the nest before reaching the lake. \u2663<\/p><p>Viewing period: All year round, with larger groups visible in winter.<\/p><h3>\u00a0<\/h3><h3><strong>Rallidae: Coots, Galinulles, Rails<\/strong><\/h3><h4><strong>Common coot\u00a0<em>(<\/em><em>Fulica atra)<\/em><\/strong><\/h4><p>This is not a moorhen!
