Some nests are now exposed in full view and the birds do not require any longer a thick vegetation to hide them. In some places however, some nests that had been hooked at a submerged twig had to suffer quick water level fluctuations owing to repeated flooding from a nearby sluice, which resulted in nests and eggs being lost. A floating nesting raft, which is described, has been successfully tested and appeared to be an attractive nest support able to face water level fluctuations.
