 The female is incubating eggs on the nest. |
 When no dangers nearby, she lies with the head high, |
 |
 In the meantime, the male is preening his feathers. |

 |
 When danger approaches, she lays down her head and neck, |
 and finally disappears in the water. |
 |
 The chicks are about to come out of the eggs. |
 |
 When the danger is gone, she quickly returns to the nest. |
