Flachsee in Switzerland
Finally I was doing another morning bird walk and have the time to post about it.
It was rather short but great. Migration has started already and so I got to see 29 species in a two hour walk.
The best of course was my life bird #492: a Spotted Crake (Porzana porzana – Tüfelsumpfhuhn):
The Common Kingfisher (Alcedo atthis – Eisvogel) just sat outside the hide. And since all the bigger slots were occupied by photographers with mostly huge lenses I took the little one on the side and – was lucky 🙂
Willow Warbler (Phylloscopus trochilus – Fitis):
The Common House-Martins (Delichon urbica – Mehlschwalbe) were enjoying the fresh air:
And a Common Greenshank (Tringa nebularia – Grünschenkel) was looking for food in the shallow water:

It’s always fun to view photographs of birds I have never seen before. Lovely images of these beauties!
