Besuch von Kaltbrunner-Riet with Karin

The reed birds haven't returned yet, but we had a great day with Kiebitz, Bekassine, Rohrammer, and more.Unforunately my 200-600mm telefoto lens was damaged yesterday, so there aren't as many good photos as I'd hoped. A total of 24 species is included, 24 of them have been observed.
