This time of the year is nesting time for all species. That implies that 
the remaining birds at the marsh are either too young or too old.

This guy is neither, yet it is alone; fully grown, apparently quite healthy 
and surely very sexy… what a waste!

The big boss at the marsh is a Greylag. It won't tell others
what to do and it won't take it from any Swan either and it

is not a racist for anyone may come at the marsh. :P

Can your pair fly?

At the marsh, hardly any birds will nest. They most
go in the woods or secret watery area all around.
