Greetings, friends. I continue my story about my journey to the westernmost region of Russia, Kaliningrad, which was East Prussia until 1945. I've already told about our first day of adventures. What I didn't tell you was that we had dinner in the evening at a small restaurant called Branches, located on the embankment called the Fishing Village. By the way, friends, I recommend that you take a look at this place. It's really all tangled up in branches.

This week's theme (ROUND 220) SHOW ME A PICTURE OF BIRD YOUNG BIRDHi, @nelinoeva. How are you? I recently visited the westernmost region of Russia, Kaliningrad, and saw interesting birds that I had never seen in our region. These are mostly waterfowl. Mother Nature is ingenious with various inventions and has developed structural features for every living being in nature to make it easier to obtain food or save their lives. Or did God do it? For example, A Coot. This bird has some ridiculously large paws, and they help the bird to dig in the ground and look for food. I met this feathered family on the shore of the city pond. They were invisible from the side of the footpath, but I noticed that the grass by the water was moving. There is no such movement without a reason. I decided to check it out and saw such interesting birds. Surprisingly, the chicks are completely different from their parents. What strange heads they have.

I can't help but do it!Hello, friends. I sat down by the window for a short while, but I couldn't take my eyes off the birds in the tree outside the window. It's a small flock of yellow-green Eurasian Greenfinch again. I can't help but share this with your, friends. I already showed the Greenies 3 days ago, but there have been changes in 3 days. My thorn is beginning to bloom. His flower buds are beginning to open, and that also attracts my gaze. In several years of bird watching at my tree with a feeder, this is the first time I've taken photos of birds against a background of flowers. This thorn has not had so many flower buds for 3 years, but this spring is favorable for flowering! This photo was taken at 7 a.m. It's 13:00 now and, of course, the buds have already opened more. There are no clouds in the sky today, the sun pleases with its warmth. The thermometer is currently showing +18 degrees.

This is a post to go with #WednesdayWalk challenge by @tattoodjay.Well, friends, hello again. I invite everyone to take a walk with me. During this walk we have to walk about 4 km around the pond, overcome the rubble of old trees in the forest, and meet deer, stork, and buzzard.

This week's theme (ROUND 218) SHOW ME A PICTURE OF BIRD FREE THEMEHi, @nelinoeva. How are you? Today, I was planning to tell you about the stork I met during my visit to my daughter. But I've changed my mind, and I want to share today's fresh photos of the European Greenfinch. I want to explain my decision. The fact is that birds usually stop coming to my feeder after the snow disappears completely, i.e., when the warm season begins. But this year I decided to put a small amount of sunflower seeds in the feeder every morning. I read somewhere that birds need extra food in the spring to hatch their eggs better.
