Note:
  • No sleeping Geese today. Almost all the ducks left this corner of the Wieden. Reason: Hunters. Again this morning quit a lot of hunting in the area. Oh yeah, they are allowed "only" to shoot Crows and Malards but they chase away the rest also!
Local birds and other specialities:
  • An adult male Peregrine Falcon passed me close. I could very good see the enormous claws. Seven White-fronted Geese who were just passing were frightened and turned chaotic to the right.
