"...The sea is not calm, it seems; He looks and sees trouble: A swan is flailing among the swells, A kite is hovering above her; That poor thing is splashing, The water around her is swirling and lashing..." A.S. Pushkin)))
The dynamics are incredible! What's interesting is that the shelduck is a seemingly peaceful, calm bird. And then suddenly such an attack! Congratulations, Nikolai, on a VERY successful shot! At our yacht club, shelducks, geese, ducks, and swans coexist peacefully. Apparently, they've signed a non-aggression pact...
He looks and sees trouble:
A swan is flailing among the swells,
A kite is hovering above her;
That poor thing is splashing,
The water around her is swirling and lashing..." A.S. Pushkin)))
