Jan Schoppers (2026) Little Grebe Tachybaptus ruficollis nest squatted by an Eurasian Coot Fulica atra. LIMOSA 99 (1): 39-40.

In the spring of 2021, a Coot took over the nest of a Little Grebe. Whether the Coot bred successfully remained unknown. It is rare that Coots take over nests of other species, although cases of Coots squatting nests of Great Crested Grebe Podiceps cristatus have been reported in the Netherlands before.
