This allows them to move through a quagmire or shallow water and get food (invertebrates), by immersing their beak in soft soil or water. They usually nest on the ground, the nest is a hole, there are almost always four eggs in the clutch. Brood, migratory, many are the object of sport hunting (woodcock, snipe, hollow). The greatest agricultural importance is the lapwing, which lives in damp meadows and in the field. According to ornithologists, lapwings should be protected as useful insectivorous birds and hunting for them should be prohibited.


Seagull Squad

Food is extracted from the water, looking for it from the air. Excellent flyers, swim, but they can dive only from the fly, grabbing fish under water. Inhabitants of the coasts, from the Far North to the desert zone. The group includes gulls, terns, and pomeranians. Among the gulls there are fish-eating and insectivorous species, most are omnivorous. Silver gulls in the Crimea and for some years have been feeding their chicks mainly with ground squirrels, flying after them tens of kilometers from the colony. Marsh terns on rice fields in flight collect insects from plants. Of the gulls, the black-headed one is the most insectivorous. These gulls (from the Black Sea Reserve) collect insects in the fields and each brings 50 g (more than a thousand individuals) of insects to the chicks three times a day. One colony of thousands of these gulls consumes hundreds of tons of insects over the summer. The harm caused by gulls eating a large amount of fish is often greatly exaggerated. Something else is more dangerous. Gulls (the main host) are carriers of helminthic diseases of fish (the intermediate host), for example, ligulosis.


Goose Squad

Brood near-water birds, swim well, some dive. The legs, carried backwards and having a skin membrane between three fingers, are adapted to this. The birds are migratory and fly quite well. Many people get food under fashion, their beak is flat, with rows of horny transverse plates along the edges of the upper and lower mandibles: when water is filtered through them, solid particles are retained. They nest along the shores of reservoirs on the ground, some in hollows. Food plants and invertebrates, extracted in water. Geese, for example, also eat ground vegetation. The squad includes ducks, geese, swans. Of the ducks, the mallard is more well known than others - the ancestor of most breeds of domestic ducks. Some goose birds are decreasing in number and are subject to full protection. Laws in Russia protect all kinds of swans. Therefore, the number of these birds is increasing. 888Starz promo code GAME888 - Get €130 bonus and free spins By The 888Starz bonus code is GAME888 Get up to €130 in bonuses when you join Get free casino spins when you open an account 888Starz is a new only sports betting and casino that specialise in Bitcoin and offer a fantastic bonus for new customers.
