Life has returned to your little dam, Nan! and what a life
So many different birds and even deer and a cute mouse
I still have not seen a swallow and we have 20° in the afternoon
Normally I can hear them. Must have a closer look.
I have dared to put the first summer flowers on the balcony, even if it is a bit early, but the weather is so beautiful

Always love your tits, nana!
Where on earth does "Ferruginous Duck" come from?
And nice signs of Spring! Fascinating!
Is that a muskrat, or a vole?

To spot a Ferruginous Duck in a large flock of Tufted Ducks and Common Pochards requires a practised eye and a lot of patience, therefore the species is often overlooked. The Ferruginous Duck can sometimes be seen alone or together with a few other diving ducks. It is the rarest European diving duck, small numbers, however, regularly spend the winter in Switzerland.
Well-spotted then, nana!
