October 30, 2022,Gut Bustedt im Herbst 30.10.22

This morning I decided at short notice to look at the forest around Gut Bustedt again in autumn. They were beautiful colors. Shortly before the end of my round, a woodpecker jumped in front of my lens high up in the treetops.

Mini lap between two rain showers. I was surprised that you could even enter Gut Bustedt. The aquariums are pretty nice. The estate lies in nature and there are also a few animal encounters all around.
On the rest of the way to the estate, the path is partly a muddy hell. I'm so sick of it. The large pond …

This morning I went through Tom's area again with a fresh 8°. This time I also got the right tour that he had planned for me.

However, the herons took flight from me today. I hadn't spotted them yet and they flew away.
I …

A little rain, a few hailstorms, but in between the ☀️😎, and it's really warm 🥰. Spring is getting close 🤩🥳. A few small hiking trails in the Bustedter Holz are still closed due to broken trees

After visiting the snowdrop display at Gut Bustedt, I took a stroll through the surrounding area.

In the mid-1980s, the area around the estate, which had been used as "wet meadows," was designated a nature reserve.

Numerous ponds for species conservation were created, and the Brandbach stream and several side ditches were restored to a more natural state.

That was another wonderful morning, dear @Ilona, with the best weather. Thank you so much for your company 😊

It's a shame, komoot sorted the two photos of the Moorstrandhaus right in the middle of my post 🫣 They were supposed to be the last ones. Oh well...you can't have everything in life 😉
