Birds in the last period of the spring. Continued

Bon starts with the fact that males are against each other and excrete a number of impulsive movements that talk about how angry both opponents. However, they bristle their neck feathers, stretched his neck and come on to each other, tykayas long orange beaks, like fencers rapiers. Brawl seems bitter, for ends very soon: the weaker calls in flight. One is fighting a couple after another, and so is repeated every night, and soldiers, even the losers, do not suffer much harm from the blows. Flexible, soft beaks turuhtanov unable to inflict bloody wounds, and bulge is the collar fighters good defense: most of the beak strikes accounted for its share. From late May females are less and less visited places bouts. Now comes the time to worry about posterity, in which the combative male takes no part. In the swampy, wet lowland under stalks sedges and other wetland plants on the ground, in a shallow pit female lays four greenish eggs. In case of danger, it goes differently than other shorebirds that squeak with curled over the enemy and their concern and cries of the proximity of the nest issue. Female ruff behaves so that it seems weakened or wounded bird. Runs along the ground, limp, stumble, with an effort takes wing, and, tumbling, falling into the grass. And the beast and a dog and a man unwittingly duped this habits and, pursuing the bird, go farther and farther from the nest. When the rise in the meadows of grass and grow winter crops in fields, on the evening and morning zoryam with meadows and fields can hear sounds similar to the bass or the creaking sound of the horn-comb, when the ends of its teeth is carried out with a fingernail. It screams crake or corncrake.
