I remeber eating roasted chestnuts next to lake Lucerne. i also remember eating a salad that was really very tasty.
@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
Grandes fotos, Antonio. Muita qualidade. Parabéns. / Great photos, Antonio, congratulations.
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.
Thanks Emma she was a few meters from me,we can se the shining eye,here they have the same "problem"(not allways:) that we have in Porto,people feed the birds and they aproach to se if there are something,i have a spotting of that to:)
These pictures are perfect . They really do justice to the beauty of these birds.Thanks for sharing!
Nice! I'm seeing Mergansers in Florida now, too. Did you watch them fish?...It's a neat thing to watch. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/9865618
