They are easier to observe in winter because then they leave their well-vegetated habitat and are seen in meadows, parks and on open waters. When swimming or walking on mudflats and on meadows, they move jerkily, at the same time twitching their tail and flashing their white undertail coverts. Their elongated toes enable them to walk on floating leaves."}
