Hi,
What I've been waiting for so long, and what I've been writing about and even showing for a long time - has finally happened ! Today I finally got to see three (?), I'm not sure, swan chicks, after sitting on a rock for about an hour and a half, waiting for her to decide to turn a little bit of egg clutch

And voila, my eyes (and the camera) saw a rather grown up chick. Also, in the photo on the left you can see the second one, and as it seemed to me, there was a third one hiding in the depths. But maybe it was just my imagination. Of course, the second one has not even dried and cleaned itself yet, but my worries about cold weather and cold clutch are in the past

My mom is pretty cavalier about the way she's stirring things up, but it's kind of okay with them. And from what I remember the eggs themselves have pretty thick shells. By the way, you can see on the photo that many of them are already broken through, so soon we are expecting a rather large addition to the family. Obviously, I'll have to visit them even more often now (I go to them almost every day anyway)

But it will be necessary, first, to wait for sunny days, and secondly - to go closer to the evening, during the day they from the sun hides the slope of the hill, under which the nest, but in the evening the sun should just come to the side I need for light

Now I have so far - that I can shoot quite dark pictures, because mom is still covering everyone with her body, and the sun is not very much in Paris lately

Well I can't help but post the eternal neighbors, this time interestedly watching the plane. She was attracted by the noise and looked up pensively. In general, once again I lack focal length

The picture above clearly demonstrates my actions in an attempt to think through budgets for a hobby that brings nothing but pleasure to me and the viewers. And kidneys are cheap on the black market right now (Just kidding)

And finally, a photo of the competition between a cormorant and a runner. It just happened to catch their race. But the photo itself amused me
