The film shows the courtship ceremonies (discovery ceremony, weed-trick ceremony, head-shaking ceremony - three types) and agonistic behaviour in a true fight including appeasement-head-shaking. The film has been made at lake "Binnenbraak" nearby Monnickendam, the Netherlands, in 1970 and 1971. The lake is an in-dike pond (200 x 300 m) close to the "Ijsselmeer", where a crowded population of 15 - 20 pairs breed every year. The birds fly across the dike and hunt for fish in the Ijselmeer.
