Thank you dear @nelinoeva for the competition. You can find the announcement and rules here.
And the theme of this week was -Free Theme.
I decided to show the birds that I often see while walking along the coast.
Black kite.
Yes, don't be surprised. These scavengers don't just fly over forests and trash cans in yards. They fish on the river.
Gray heron
In autumn on the coast I see herons, about 5-10 birds. This is their flight to warm countries, and on the way they stop at the city river to rest.
Common tern.
These birds rush back and forth along the river in search of fish.
Black-headed gull.
Of course, there are many different types of seagulls on the shore.
Herring gull.
And this type of seagull, by the way, arrives very first, when it is still cold and the ice on the river has not melted. They are also the last to fly away; I even managed to meet them in early November.
Little ringed plover.
These little guys often wander along the pebbly shore.
Common sandpiper
Of course, sometimes you can meet various sandpipers on the shore. This one is the most common.
White wagtail
This graceful bird is found not only in the city, but also likes to live on the banks.
Bluethroat
This amazing nightingale also lives on the coastal zone, but exclusively in the bushes that grow there.
Sand martin
And these swallows dig holes on steep sandy shores.
