Today, again where the Baillon’s crakes have nested.
Near the entrance: male and female gadwall ducks. Coots. Great cormorants flying. Mallard. Moorhen.
A few canals further: seven tufted ducks, both male and female. Teal.
Canada geese and gray lag geese.
This is a shoveler video.
A male shoveler. Magpies.
It is sunny. About 7 degrees centigrade. The water level is high. Two Egyptian geese on a small island in the lake.
Around the northern lake: scores of northern lapwings, great cormorants, and black-headed gulls. Also some herring gulls and common gulls. And a lesser black-backed gull.
Mute swans.
The sound of a little grebe.
A grey heron flies away.
