A little touristy post before the last birdy one from Berlin (mostly from last weekend)....
Berlin birder-friend drinks in Kreuzburg
My group on Peacock Island (just after a close-up Black Woodpecker session)
I headed out for runs at the first opportunities, which were last Saturday and Sunday, both in / around Tiergarten, both great, both including Goshawks, Middle Spotted Woodpeckers, Hawfinches and more; the former was especially memorable for the timely, coincidental closure of the Straße des 17. Juni - meaning my 8km run was a weirdly peaceful, slightly surreal sightseeing adventure....
...when I also bumped into Rich's group -
birding with Mitch, north of the City
