Hello, my dearest friends! With the onset of autumn in nature, a lot of changes. The once green forest had already begun to dress up in Golden leaves. In parks and squares fluttering butterflies gradually disappear, migratory birds gather in warm edges.
Until the rains started and the weather was still Sunny, we decided to go back to the lakes. Around the beautiful nature, lots of greenery, swimming birds, and the cooing of restless doves.
All birds are very active and fun. Looking at how ducks fun frolic in the water surface, involuntarily begin to smile.
One of them even began to pose for me, showing itself in all its glory. These black coots are good swimmers, such tricks in the water show.
This is a fairly large duck weigh up to 2 kg. On the top spread across Eurasia to the North to South strip of tundra to the South to the North of Ukraine, lower Volga, Kazakhstan and Mongolia.
The Drake all plumage, except the sides, abdomen and elytra, painted black. Because of the people they were called dill. On the head and goiter it has a metallic green-blue Shine. And their slightly elongated feathers on the back of the head form a tuft hanging on the neck, which they like to clean and wash, diving often into the depths of the pond. The beak and the feet, they are bluish-grey. The female is dominated by black tones, and in males they are often replaced by dark brown.
They are difficult sometimes to distract from the water treatments. Constantly dive, and then talk about something...
Clouds and trees are reflected in the lake like a mirror.
The bottom is very muddy, so it is forbidden to swim, and the water is not quite clean. However, ducks are very happy. They are real freedom.
Someone claims that during the war it went under the water a dozen German tanks.
Thank you for your attention and visit. I appreciate your feedback and comments. I wish you luck and have a nice day!
Best wishes,
