The black kite (Milvus migrans)

In this photo you can see the reason why this kite was called black.
In fact, it is not black at all, but brown, but because of the hard shadows in sunny weather, it seems black in flight. And yes, most kites have tail feathers pulled out. Smaller birds often attack them protecting their nests.

The mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) and The common gull (Larus canus)

These ducks flew to the lake, first they swam there and cleaned the feathers, and then went ashore to dry and rest. On the shore in the corner of the lake there is a favorite duck's place, where they gather in flocks and rest.
