Local birds and other specialities: It seems that all the Reed Warblers have left the place. The last Purple Heron was seen on the spot the 9th of this month. Local duck-numbers are increasing with today tens of Mallards, 9 Teals, a Shoveler, Gadwalls and Widgeons.           And now, something completely different...
