Around the middle of July or the end of July, the seasonal small lake in the photo above begins to dry up. At this time, you can finally get to it, which I do. This lake is very fond of sandpipers and ducks, and sometimes you can meet gulls and wagtails.

These birds are frequent guests of this lake, and as a rule, you can always meet a family here, consisting of adults and several young birds.

These sandpipers can run quite quickly, although they rarely do it, mostly they walk carefully and slowly along the bottom. And just as you can see in the video, they can wag their tails like wagtails.
