- Cover photo description:
- The small knights are nidifughters: they abandon, that is, the nest very early. They learn to fly about a month after hatching. The females of the knights of Italy as also happens for the avocets, if a predator approaches the nest, they pretend to have a broken wing, explaining it and making a lot of noise to be heard. In this way, the predator is instinctively attacking the `wounded` bird, leaving the nest alone. If the knight of Italy, however, understands that an intruder has no bad intentions like a birdwatcher observing the situation, in the event that he comes closer again a few minutes later, he will not repeat this staging..
