First bird-watching walk this season – With VHS Pankow at Späth Arboretum 7 September

Under circumstances (e.g. 32C forecast for today), I am quite sure we will not see many birds. Also, the leaves still on the trees, I will most likely not be able to get any bird photos, but the walk will be enjoyable anyway.

It is really true that there are fewer birds everywhere, but we did see this Goshawk:

In any case, the Späth Arboretum is always worth a visit, like an third Berlin botanical garden, with an impressive number of different trees and bushes, and a small lake.

The Spät’che Baumschule further has various plant nurseries, as well as a shop with local produce, good coffee and homemade cakes. It is also home to various annual festivals in an idyllic location, a.o. a wine festival with wines from small German wineries, and a Christmas market which is reportedly “Berlin’s prettiest”.
