strand is a city in russia's south it has a kremlin made of white stone and another symbol of the city is the swoons that live in the pond in the center of this one stayed there all the year round most of all the people of proud of the volga river russia's most famous river drains into the caspian sea in the astrakhan region. from above it looks as though the deep river runs into an obstacle one hundred thirty kilometers from the caspian sea . it's into hundreds of small narrow channels this area is known as the volga delta it's almost a triangle shaped most of its territory covered with water. to go from bastrop and southward you soon see feels totally missed and. treasure. fish come here to spoon.

fish attract migrating birds more than one of the half million beds of three hundred species come here the spring and autumn it's the centuries people from all over the ship south that come here to fish and hunt unfortunately though many species perished as a result. more the at that time women like to dress up they hatch with feathers hair and faddists will very much invoke the heron only has five feather is on its head so its thousands of parents were killed in the name of fashion while pelicans were opposed by the million to make ornaments. in the early twentieth century the volga delta was a desolate place a special expedition that came here from moscow in one nine hundred twelve found no trace of it the swans or pelicans. urgent measures were needed to save the deltas natural environment. nine hundred seventeen socialist revolution the government

decided to create a nature reserve here. at the ball out of there was a civil war at the time of the country's coffers were empty and the future was unclear that's what the situation was like when they started to create a nature reserve in the balkans out. it's hard to reach the reset for master it's one hundred kilometers through flooded fields and the ferry to the other bank of the volga. there is a fifteen kilometer stretch of dirt road once you've reached the end of it you don't need the car anymore you have to take a boat because there's not much ground from all the way to the caspian sea. few kilometers more and you reach the boundary of the nature reserve everywhere there are signs prohibiting entry and the person found trespassing can be punished by. in all fairness such strict measures produced posted for exults soon after the

nature reserve was founded. here with news that we begin with the first one ness were found here and the first terran colonies were discovered in the reserve as well as a lawyer but that's core retains the harry detrick code of subsequent generations the queer gets. onto fishel islands are the only spots of drawing down to reserve the house rangers and dogs with their families. scientists doing research they hit too. early in the morning on the phone just to be tripped on the ref and ranger are out to beg off set out on an expedition to make a record of the birds in the reserve all right let's go today to the ticket channel to see what's going on there and over there will be how high the water is we'll look at the type of marks yes we'll check them in. the

toy box in the rituals act as natural measuring this for the stuff. as rangers make the rounds of the reserve they're supposed to see whether the tide box had been washed away is difficult to see though from the boats if they are secure enough. they make the rounds once a month during high season each time they follow the same route. on the follow just puts down a description of each bird he sees in the notebook. the data is then processed and entered into a fifty year old book chronicling the state of the natural environment. everything is put on record even the first groping over from for example the first turtle emerging from the water just some date and the first crossed snakes sneaking out of its hideout the first darling the first night the for. swallow the sun when baby birds start to leave their nests is also noted.

the white tailed eagle is one of the biggest birds of prey in the astral and nature reserve. these birds have a wingspan of up to two and a hof meter. tailed he who is the fourth biggest bird in europe birds of the species in the volga tells him mostly feed on fish they either catch the fish themselves or grab them from other birds such as camarines. sometimes they call sheet cormorants by pretending to attack them when you normally they don't go out of cormorants but as soon as they sense danger they drill each down to fish and get out of the way as fast as they can eagles get the prize crowns are their rival so they to try to pick up the fish in other words why tailed eagles

and crowns live of requirements of workers. white tailed eagles are not as common in any other area of russia as they are in the volga delta . so say one of the habitats for these birds in the world. about two hundred eagle pairs nests in the reserve alone. come to astrakhan for the expressed desire of watching them in the wilds. of new. ones a visiting german cameraman was so thrilled by the dozen white tailed eagles flying overhead that he told the driver to hump the car there and then started filming them when i told him that fine white tailed eagles were nothing out of the ordinary he said only a few such eagles nested in. all of them had been recorded and certified and there were under constant observation. in recent years people with

cameras have been exploring the under part of the delta. they've been off is a fish biologist and kill even though it's an underwater camera. they go to one of the remote channels. and clear ideal conditions for. nearly sixty fish species in habits of all the data including. their famous for their black caviar. is a total ban on fishing in the resort of its employees are only allowed to use fishing rods even local people their interests are fishing tales. but i can't show how big it was even if i spread my arms to the limit imagine this tall man holding a catfish while part of its tail about half

a metre long is on the ground. during high water the fish move to the floodplain to spawn it's here that baby fish scramble out of hard rare. receding water takes them back to the river. both fry and fish come here after spawning the warm water stimulates underwater vegetation this is a comfortable place for the young it's like a kindergartner. for the time they're almost new fish in this aquatic nursery so the cameraman switches his attention to the plants. such as you know couriers fairly strong here it seems this tangle with education services are filtered purifying the water flowing through it. as a result it becomes clear. when i go down there i clearly see that the remote bottom and the seaweed are all covered with mud.

even in the summer that clear water makes it possible to see that the seaweed is so thick it looks like a forest. with. some of the most beautiful flowers in the delta. what's much here you can see above gradually from the water the interesting thing about water lilies is that they conceal themselves under water during the night and at dawn onto the water surface to bloom again. says the most famous plant of the delta. a few decades ago the sacred symbol of the buddhists took up nearly a quarter of a hit. today. by twenty nine thousand. what. this is a lotus lee. it's

a boil the water will slide down like mercury in troughs these reddish leaves differ significantly from the others look at how these leaders parco. notices considered a symbol of purity and in light invent. this belief to help people understand the origin of their desires and reefs tiredness sharpens the senses and even provides protection from evil forces. persian in a last minute lotuses makes you think your version was shot. we'd sell the most common plants and of all the delta they grow all the over the place have. any of the deltas islands are in fact nothing more than

a fifth of reeds growing in shallow water. some of them can even grow up to six metres in height. motorboats can't go too far off without damaging its screw propeller. fortunately the wood and you know you can easily lose your way in a rethink it it's not like a forest here you can tell where north especially if the skies over cost and the stars are nonphysical and rethink its constraint for many many kilometers from the queue for. the noise of an engine is heard from a far it's there's peace and quiet it signals that there's a trespasser in the area in the range it immediately calls based with the gods. a few minutes later a rat finds approaches and that's one of the read on it dimitri there is a net. oh yes i see it. the net is full of

fish most likely it was last checked a long time ago. the bulk of the fish that. great may have killed them all. they then set the surviving fish free which was one of the kind of fish is it anyway shall we let them go dimitri yes sure. the boat continues on its way to mourn that some found there by the ranger called space again hello there there are three nets here again so shall i remove them right i'm going to do it right away. the rats empties one of the nets and leaves it in place dogs will come here in the evening to ambush the poacher.

in the evening while decent parents descend on the area. but it's here have little fear of humans they know from experience that they will not be disturbed while that in the reserves which is why there are so many. in these head. to visit them in the movie. the. sergeant of the israeli defense forces. during his service scorched a street fight. the colonel of the chilean armed forces participated in keeping down a military revolt. sergeant in the us army. trying to become an american my gig in part in the. ranks

and reasons differ but one thing brings them together once they disobey. our stop we are going. back. we'll have a rally we'll sell lots of beer will. they will wear uniforms that will damage isn't the black man know that but very little damming the white. and they are the key to our problem.

the morning school confederates the voters. that don't want to get to a faraway lands to to speak. cluny. coma is the most common in the delta. number of koreans here runs into hundreds of thousands. to cover schools of kilometers such a fish the staple food. but here their prey can be found everywhere the delta just moments to willing to sit back on his head. this claim is considered to be a fairly young one it appears only fifty years ago. today numbers about fifty thousand mists. thinner and less look like round findings thirty to forty centimeters in diameter these shallow funnels are made from thirty packed reeds.

one trees might be home to schools of nests. on scorching hot days and old birds on the edge of their nests to raise lapping their wings to cool it down a bit also make sure that their hatchlings are kept out of the sun assume through the baby birds legs how to fly an interim. at that time flocks of call mercer spectacle on a par with a hitchcock movie. common sense perkins often go to fish to get a pelican stay on this common in the reserve. just very quickly often feed together one of the sure it begins circling over it. calm they also want their share. you will be hard pushed to find chemicals in the delta.

these very cautious bird's nest as far away from people as possible. to see pelicans you would need to enter the area. with a folded. it's the caspian sea. i have it looks like a nature of the coast of islands. but it's still palms and it's all good here it stretches two hundred kilometers wide. flood waters right now are about one point four meters deep at other times the depth is between a metre and one point two metres this is the middle of the delta there are a lot of fish here because of the river of the thoroughly warmed by the sun there is a wealth of vegetation and a good deal of food for fish and birds down there. back

in the nineteen fifties there were one thousand five hundred pelicans nests in the astra. since then that number has dropped to five hundred. it's very difficult to spot a colony of pelicans in the field completes. they spend an hour. before the boat runs into a pelican colony. baby birds hatched a short time ago. at the. colony was here forty years ago but then they disappear that it has been grown in the past four years in the beginning there were only five nast's then forty and now we have one hundred. first glance pelicans look like very clumsy birds they have. short sea

clicks and their tail is visible. less many religions are there than the sacred animals muslims believe that a pelican brought stands for the construction of mecca and its bill. and in europe the pickle is a symbol of parental love legend has it taken so rich that chest certainly that seeks to feed hungry babies with blood. bulletins play with each other only for the duration of one season building this in and reads tickets. at first so i say look like a pile of garbage twigs. there are two or three baby birds to invest it born blind make it. does start to grow seven days later after ten weeks they can fly.

there are only a handful of them are here and we try not to disturb them if we can help it we do keep records of them but we don't do any detailed research. even the gods make a point of not approaching islands with pelicans and nesting in fact the gods live in floating cabins and they visit the ivan delta they stay there for only three days at a time. have you seen many pelicans nicholai there are bought a hundred nast's here and in grown ups there are some but others are still very young. compared to pelicans there are thousands of swan nests in the delta.

in the last century the swan population is rapidly shrinking due to the hunting. sit cannot fly so to purchase we take that opportunity to cram them into nets. beat them with sticks. now that catching swans is prohibited the population has started to increase. in the fifties only five pairs of swan nested in the ball delta but now their numbers have gone up hundreds of times over of. this one the scene is a symbol of devotion as it was thought that once pet they stay together for knife. as soon as they settle down a large plot and start building nests as a roof other but anywhere nearby welcoming.

people because they're worthy of the assuring nesting season the female seats on the nest while the male swims around to guard against intruders. swans are very strong the birds they don't like the presence of other birds especially glee's sometimes swans even cheese geese are from a shared habitat. movie there are five to seven eggs in the swans nest. or something frightens them that they leave their nests. crews often use this tactic to steal the eggs. or. a couple of always accompany motorboats when they reach the end of their section they hand over the boat to another couple of ground zero the man in the boat is to preoccupy its noses when the boat approaches the nest the noise of the

engines scares the bird away. to get into the nest just steal the eggs as a result the sets this room and. astros and reservists called the floating venice of russia for its calm and beautiful nature. people come here every year to find a quiet place under the sun and in a piece. when the dusk descends on the river and maybe duck enough to see a spectacular sea flocks of swans flying into the sunset.

it's a. mummy . look on the environment coming up. this history still keeps its secrets but now it's time to reveal the hidden in the soviet files house on the embankment on.
