В прошлый выходной во время краткой командировки в Питер удалось на полтора часа заехать в Гатчину и поснимать прекрасных красношейных поганок. Поганки строили гнездо, приносили строительный материал, иногда одна из них запрыгивала проверить гнездо на прочность. Красивые птицы! Ещё встретились лебеди-шипуны, утята кряквы, лысухи на гнездах, зяблик.
Last weekend, during a brief business trip to St. Petersburg, I managed to spend an hour and a half in Gatchina photographing beautiful red-necked grebes. The grebes were building a nest, bringing in nesting material, and sometimes one would hop in to check the nest's sturdiness. Beautiful birds! I also saw mute swans, mallard ducklings, coots on their nests, and a chaffinch

Ещё один визит на Верхнеяузские болота: у черношейных поганок нырков и крякв подрастают птенцы.
Another visit to the Upper Yauza marshes: the chicks of black-necked grebes, pochards, and mallards are growing up.
