The reservoir near Turar. Black Kites, Ruddy Shelducks and Lapwings – today's main characters. Kites are most appreciable birds in autumn. If you left the city you can see Kite's round dances in the sky. Many Kites sit on the ground and on the trees but they are not so appreciable. But some trees looks like apple trees with "kites-apples". Kites likes water therefore so much kites near reservoir.

Lapwings are going to migrate. Flights are very large (some tens each it). Birds fly over steppe and near reservoir. From time to time Lapwings moving from one side of reservoir to other it.

Ruddy Shelducks, First time I saw the reservoir where Ruddy Shelducks are main (or unique) part of the ducks. May be they nested here. Because ducks doesn't attend to boat's moving.
