Media notes
The splashing of the young and female and weak calls of the young are followed by splashing of the female as she used her wings like oars to make a lot of noise and head away from the young. After about 1 min the female stopped splashing and started to call. After about 2 min calling became more frequent as the female moved in the direction of the young, and continued to call. All were regrouped by about 3 min and moved around behind vegetation.
