Siberia Trekking - discover Russian nature

Trip to Far East was very interesting. During rafting on Bureya river we have encountered many birds. Most beautiful is mandarin duck Aix galericulata . They were abundant, tough it was difficult to get good picture. Mandarin ducks are very cautious in this area.
