Let it beak: His unusual appearance caused much amusement among onlookers, who said his ruffled head feathers made him look like a member of the Fab Four
This grebe must have had a Hard Day's Flight judging by the state of his mop-top hairdo.
The winged water bird had twitchers all in a flutter as he swanned about a lake showing off a Beatles' pudding bowl coiffure.
His unusual appearance caused much amusement among onlookers, who said his ruffled head feathers made him look like a member of the Fab Four.
The incredible sight was captured on camera by photographer Rob Palmer in North East Colorado, America.
Beatles fans will no doubt argue over whether the bird, a clark's grebe, looks more like John Lennon or Paul McCartney.
Some may even joke that he would be more at home in band Wings.

Mr Palmer, from Littleton, Colorado, explained the bird had ended up with the bizarre barnet after flaring up its feathers for a fight.
The 57-year-old said: 'The grebe had got in to a territorial dispute and had flared up its head in a posturing pose.
'I do love the feather style. It's very funny. It could be one of the Beatles.
'Most people laugh or smile when they see the picture.'
