Sacred Haven of Debauchery

And a few years ago, there was a coot swimming there! And like ducks, it had chicks. I remember throwing a loaf of bread to it, and instead of eating it herself, she carried it to the reeds where her chicks were. The ducklings swim ahead of the ducks, almost faster than the ducks fly when someone throws food into the pond, but the coot carried it in her beak. By the way, I didn't initially know what this bird was called, and some guy or Misha told me it was a sandpiper. But I looked it up on the internet, and sandpipers look different! And by searching on Yandex for "a black bird with a red beak swims in the swamp," I found out what it's called. This bird, by the way, is quite common, but it usually settles very far from people, and it's difficult to see, so we can say we were lucky that it swam in our swamp every day.
