15-20 minutes walk and I find myself on the embankment of a small river. There is a green corner of nature with algae. This is a favorite place for marsh chickens. They are shy birds, but sometimes I get lucky. The photo above is a young marsh chicken. It seems that she is posing for me. But it was only seconds and then she hid in the reeds.
Recently, he began to periodically see chickens of the marsh company with ducks. And before, they were always separate from the ducks. Together, even on the same log - friendship is wonderful.
I often meet wild ducks on the river. They live with us all year round. In the summer they can be seen in different parts of the river. Ducks love it when there are logs in the river, snags. You don't always want to just swim. And ducks also love to bask in the sun.
Wild ducks are friendly birds. And the turtle was invited to their company.
And this beauty dozed off under the gentle sunbeams, standing in the shallows.
All photos can be seen in full size by clicking on them.
In the video, you can see how a marsh hen catches a dragonfly for its chick.
