On the outskirts of the city there is a coastal area where there is a forest. And this forest ends in a place where a small river flows into a large current flowing along the entire city. In this place, I sometimes meet different sandpipers, and also kingfishers like to fish here.
In this photo, this is exactly the place.
These sandpipers decided to rest in this place. Far from the coast, on a separate inaccessible island, several birds basked in the sun, dried and put their feathers in order.
But the other two decided to have a bite to eat. They roamed the pebbles and mud in search of insects and shellfish. They were afraid of me, but over time they got used to my presence and were able to come closer.
