Introduction. Last June, my wife Carmen and I had the opportunity to visit part of Switzerland and France. We started the trip in Geneva, which is a very charming city, with beautiful gardens and monuments. Lake Geneva, which is more than 72 km in length and 12 km in width, belongs both to Switzerland, in its northern zone, and to France in its southern zone. The Rhône River empties into it at the eastern end, and the lake empties into the Rhône at its western end. On its shore are Swiss cities (Geneva is one of them) and French cities. The great surprise for us was, walking through the port of Geneva while contemplating its totally transparent waters, to see how a pair of Great Crested Grebes dived, one of them finding fish from the bottom and seeing how it calmly swallowed it. We were able to see other species up close, such as the Goosander (male and female) that we saw for the first time, a pair of Red-crested Pochards, a Eurasian Coot feeding its young, a pair of Mallard Ducks and several white swans.
