Going to Sochi, I have outlined the places that I must see.
Sochi Arboretum, which is more than 100 years old, was one of the first in the list.
On its territory there is a unique collection of plants from all parts of the world.
The scenery in the park is amazing.
There are birds there in nature, in aviaries, in the service of businessmen ...
Today, on bird's Thursday, I will show you a pond with black swans in the Lower Arboretum Park.
A cozy shady place ... and 2 black swans on the surface of one of the ponds.
After a walk under the scorching sun to be in the shade of the trees, near the water - pure bliss.
Bonus - the most graceful birds.
One of them, I do not know who - a boy or a girl, stubbornly hunted, unexpectedly diving upside down, revealing a tail, trembling with anticipation of tasty prey).
In the photo below, you can see how the hunter rakes his paws in order to maintain balance, while the long neck, with its catch sharpened to the catch, is looking for prey in the water.
Still, it was a male.
He dived so hard, time after time, until he reached his goal.)
Such silence was at the pond, despite the presence of visitors, only the murmur of the waterfall in the nearby artificial grotto enlivened the plot, and the rare bursts of the hapless swan hunter.)
The lady at this time put herself in order, washed her face, sifted through each feather to bring impeccable beauty to the world.
In this case, periodically, interrupting his important lesson, looked at how the hunt was going.
Idyll.
The man-getter, and the lady - gentle and faithful waiting for the hero from the hunt.
