Nuthatches and treecreepers were there again, ready to go. Then there were some long-tailed tits, which I'd just read weren't actually tits at all, but a separate species.

And then there were the marsh tits (or maybe willow tits – they're really hard to tell apart).

Liverwort Day? Oh, who knows...
As always, it's absolutely adorable at Buckowsee. The common buzzard, short-toed treecreeper, great crested grebe, goldeneye, goldfinch, greenfinch, thrush, wagtail, reed bunting, and green woodpecker share this opinion.

After 1km the mixed forest begins with singing birds and gives an idea of the Buckowsee. Some trees didn't hold up. But the meadow orchard is waiting. A little later on the left hand bench on a hill with a great view of the lake. Beautiful early bloomers at the end of March.
