PhotoFeed Contest – Wildlife Photography Round 69. Супер-ныряльщик - Super diver

in PhotoFeed2 months ago
Всем привет! Hello everyone!
Эту необычную для меня птицу я увидела на реке Ловать в городе Великие Луки в Псковской области. Это было 27 августа 2023 года. Среди знакомых мне уток-крякв я увидела птицу поменьше с тонкой шеей. I saw this unusual bird for me on the Lovat River in the city of Velikiye Luki in the Pskov region. It was August 27, 2023. Among the mallard ducks I knew, I saw a smaller bird with a thin neck.

И вдруг птица не просто окунула голову в воду, как делают утки или лебеди, а просто в одно мгновение полностью исчезла под водой. И я уже начала волноваться, потому что птица долго не выныривала. And suddenly the bird did not just dip its head into the water, as ducks or swans do, but simply completely disappeared under the water in an instant. And I already began to worry, because the bird did not surface for a long time.

Лишь метров через 20 над водой появилась голова птицы. Поразительно! Only 20 meters later the bird’s head appeared above the water. Amazing!

Птичка поплыла дальше, как ни в чем не бывало. The bird swam further as if nothing had happened.

Я попробовала поискать в интернете, что это за птица. Скорее всего, это большая поганка, или чомга (лат. Podiceps cristatus) — вид водных птиц из семейства поганковых. Они распространены почти по всей России. Но предпочитают тихие водоемы. Я лично увидела такую птицу в природе первый раз. Видимо, Ловать им кажется достаточно тихой рекой. I tried to search on the Internet what kind of bird this was. Most likely, this is a great crested grebe, or grebe (lat. Podiceps cristatus) - a species of aquatic bird from the grebe family. They are distributed almost throughout Russia. But they prefer quiet bodies of water. I personally saw such a bird in nature for the first time. Apparently, the Lovat seems to them to be a fairly quiet river.
