@And as you will se when i put the photos it's the usual species confusion,with conflits,etc...and in a super developed country,switzerland is a model of protection and care about all aspects of human versus nature problems,but even so people ignore all the warning advertizing that i se in the lake's that i visited @Obrigado Sérgio,estavam mesmo ali á minha frente:) foi perfeito

Too bad,Antonio. I twill take a while before people realize how harmful it is. Recently a bird food company which sold seeds for wild birds was penalized for ignoring the pesticide and insecticide regulations of The FDA.So really ,it is quite a frustrating issue. Some reserves are taking legal action against people feeding birds.
