Hiliskevadel sattusin naaskelnokkade lasteaia peale. Täiesti ootamatult ja üllatuslikult. Need on linnud, keda vaid vilksamisi olen näinud ning seetõttu oli mu rõõm eriti suur, et sain neid jälgida natuke kauem ja natuke lähemalt.
Nad on ikka eriliselt graatsilised ja kaunid!
Eemalt nägin, et vilgas lennutegevus käib. Kui läbi binokli uurisin, selgus, et aetakse ära liiga lähedale sattunud (naeru)kajakaid.
Tasa lähemale liikudes nägin ka põhjust - pisikesed naaskelnokad liikusid vudinal mööda madalat vett :) Seetõttu siis ei lubatud üleaedseid ligi.
Kuna veetase oli sel kevadel erakordselt madal, jooksid linnud putukaid püüdes justkui vee peal.
Alguses tehti ka minu kohal patrulltiir, et teha kindlaks, kellega tegu. Kuid kui vaikselt pikutasin, ei teinud keegi minust enam välja.

Late sprint I was caught in the middle of the avocet family. Actually several family. It was a surprise and a very good one. I only have seen this bird once and now I was truly delighted :) They are so beautiful and elegant!
Firs I saw some flying action and when I looked trough my binocular I saw that the seagulls were not welcome. I didn't see the reason just yet.
Slowly I moved closer and closer and then I saw them - a bundle of little avocets! So cute! They were moving fast in the low water and the parental eye were very close on them.
Because the water level were extraordinary low this spring the birds were practically running on the water catching bugs.
First they flew over me too to see who's that but when I lay still they forgot about me.
