Байкальские птицы (1)

Алсу Ильдаровна Buiting, our friendly teacher, knows that I love birds and she lent me these cards with Baikal Birds. Some of them very exotic, but others also "available" in my neighbourhood! So I hàve to show them here, and who could be better to start with than the famous writer: Gogol ("the Revisor").
We call them Brilduiker, Goldeneye, Schellente. 
The author we call Gogol... ;)
