Acerca de
El zampullín cuellinegro (unos 300 g) tiene en plumaje nupcial la garganta y la nuca negras con llamativos penachos dorados en la cara. Es un buceador especializado que se alimenta sobre todo de invertebrados acuáticos pequeños. Se reproduce en lagunas ricas en vegetación acuática en grupos coloniales y a menudo junto a garzas y gaviotas. En invierno migra a las costas. Sus nidos flotantes son construidos por la pareja con material vegetal.
