TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THIS SPECIES

This sequence describes the change of adult during the incubation.
The female arrives and reaches the nest hidden among the reeds.
The male takes off as soon as she arrives at the nest-site.
Then, the male flies around the nest area while the female incubates the eggs.
This sequence has been observed while the rain was very dense and the wind relatively strong.
Sorry for the poor quality of these pictures, but the behaviour is interesting.
