My first passage to «the wild nature». Common birds on the lake are Mallards and Black-headed Gulls. Apparently, they wintered here. Except Black-headed Gulls also the Caspian and the Mew Gulls appeared.

One Grey Heron. Heron behaved very carefully. I didn't see that Heron caught anything from water. From time to time the bird flew from place onto place.

Common Teals. Very little ducks. I noticed a little stir on a shoal, and thought at first about Sandpipers. But they were Common Teals. Despite bright colouring of males, these ducks are absolutely imperceptible from afar. One Common Coot. There are not canes on the lake, therefore Coot all time existed the lake middle. Coot and Teals tried to steer clear of Mallards and Gulls.

Hooded Crows did not depart yet. The flocks of Tree Sparrows and Chaffinches were fed on the ground under plane-trees. Citrine Wagtails arrived. Today saw two birds, both males.
