Basic stats

Clutch size

4–7 eggs

The little grebe usually lays four to seven eggs, and when the adult leaves the nest it usually takes care to cover the eggs with weeds (Wikipedia, general species account).

The only source readable for the Bhutan guide gives that breeding detail and nothing else. No plumage, size, range, habitat or diet information was found, so none is stated, and the entry is kept short.
