Berdyansk I: birds of one pathway
What can be more charming than a pathway to the sea? Only the birds you can meet on your way!!!
I came to Berdyansk with an intent to visit my good friends and stay with them for about a week. And what on earth is Berdyansk without the sea?! The pathway, luckily, was not too long to make us tired, nor was it too short for us to fail to see something quite interesting” Indeed, we found very interesting godsends.
The first one to mention is an eurasian collared dove, which was left unphotographed. There were plenty of them. Well, not that plenty, but plenty enough .Then we saw lesser grey shrikes, with their youngsters. I kept hearing them every time I walked to the sea and back. Black-fronted parents flew, twittering with each other. They were bringing food to their baby birds, who had loudly demanded “Food!” :-)

On the pathway, we would come across those birds well-known back in Kiev too, but in here, we managed to snap better photographs. Among them:
European greenfinch
Eurasian golden oriole
By the way, a common redstart with its mouth full was posing sitting on a stick above the pathway:
