SMap 127 - In The Sky

Thanks @nelinoeva for the new competition. You can find the announcement and rules here.

And the theme of this week was - in the sky.

Black kite
These birds are easy to spot in the sky. They fly all summer over yards, forests, fields. And so on until the beginning of September, when they begin to fly away for the winter.

The common raven
These smart birds are unfortunately very rare in my city. There is only one couple in my favorite forest. And I can only photograph them in flight.

Mallard
These ducks live near the rivers in the city. You can come to places where there is a descent to the river or in the groves, and these ducks will be there

Gray heron
I meet herons only in autumn and spring, when they fly over my city. They stop at rivers and lakes to rest.

Eurasian hobby
This small predator lives only in a certain part of the city. From year to year I watch him fly very high.

Starling
And then I managed to capture a family of starlings. They first walked on the ground and looked for food, and then they all flew away together.
