Black kites are birds that often fly smoothly over yards or forests in search of something to eat.

In this photo, a rook is flying over the steppe. It has some food or building material for a nest in its beak.

There, in the steppes, on the ponds, live mallards. They are timid and as soon as they see me, they fly up into the sky.

Herring gulls can always be seen over the river. They fly in search of prey.

A little less often you can see black-headed gulls.

And this is a buzzard. Every year I go to visit them in one place in the forest near the hills. There they always circle around the edge looking for mice.
