With Frank Wissing from NABU Bezirksgruppe Mitte.

I don’t like peacocks, and luckily we did not really come across many. However, there were a couple of “firsts” for me (first seen, first photographed).

We also saw several birds of prey/Greifvögel – a couple of Buzzards, a Western marsh harrier/Rohrweihe, a Red Kite/Rotmilan, and two White-tailed Eagles/Seeadler. Unfortunately, I did not manage to get any good photos of any of those. Also on the island a lot of Greylags/Graugans.

First, while waiting for the bus from S Wannsee to the Pfaueninsel Ferry (218 – goes hourly), this Blackcap/Mönchgrasmücke  was singing (I had seen one before but never managed to photograph):

Once on the island, my first efter Chiffchaff/Zilpzalp:

And my first Marsh Tit/Sumpfmeise:

And some Goosander/Gänsesäger (which I may have seen before, but never photographed):

Other photos:

And finally, the island seems to have a resident fox:
