In spring I observed several weeks some Black-wing Stilt in a swamp-area in Camargue from my floating hide. I was able to watch the birds mating as well as raising their young. I noticed the graceful Black-wing Stilt above all because of their aggressiveness. Any other bird was allowed to come close to the little swamp-lake and were immediately driven away. So when I saw the duck, which is much bigger than the Black-wing Stilt, I couldn't have imagined that it would be scared away so quickly ...
