We are fortunate to have a river here (2 actually) and so a number of water birds, like the mallards, swans, moorhens and gulls (in winter). Geese are rare around here, but they live in other regions in Germany. Those birds are great photo motives, especially in spring when they have their young. But beware of the swans at that time, they are rather humorless if someone shows interest in their young ones... :)
