He performed several display by flying low over the ground with a fast, deep every beat - The shooting up to 58-60', gave over two "steading every beats" which he called quivering & then sat over at 450 and floated a glided both the ground. The song was given as soon as he levelled off from his climb & it was give as he glided down. He usually landed on the heap of mud - piled up by the ice cake - at the edge of the lake - once it landed on the ice cake itself. As the bird landed, the wings would be held up briefly - the lowered into position. It once was close by a patrol who saw in gurgler rattle & it once closer off a small (& or parts developed?) as it the swept by (this was done by a swift flight - the white-rump following clear) behind the PS - then turning & feverous over as it glided back to the lake above.
