Finding wounded birds

Finding wounded birds can be a tricky task especially without a dog.
I have noticed, that quite often wounded waterfowl heads straight to nearest cover. This cover can be just a very small vegetation group.

I have searched birds from too far away when they have been very near the spot where they did first fall. They have been in so tiny cover, that I have overlooked those places.
When still alive wounded birds are often almost totally submerged and therefore hard to notice.
