DOUBLE-PICK DUCK
Podiceps cristatus
|
Podicepses live only in the lakes and they're protected by law.
My own observations
of double-pick duck I have done on Patulskie Lake
near Koscierzyna City. Birds were timid, but I have boat
and I could approach to be quite close to them. I think I
must say more about the observation. Frightened
double-pick duck dive very deep under water and come
forth far away (and jokes about observator). This time
was diffrent: On the lake I saw few double-pick ducks.
When I approached to them I saw, that it were parents
with children.  The
litle double-pick ducks couldn't dive, so they had to do
the emergency plan: One of the parents tried to draw my
mind, and the second one put its children on its back
and swam away very quickly. Everyone who have heard that
story was full of admiration for double-pick ducks. I
decided it'll be great subject for my project! |
