On my way to a Volkshochschule birdwatching walk on the cemeteries at Bergmannstraße, I swung by Urbanhafen just in time to see about eight baby coots make their first plunge into the water from one of the manmade “islands” there.

Shortly after sunrise, it was cold, and half misty half sunny, and ended up as a gorgeously warm and sunny day.

On the Bergmannsttraße cemeteries, it was still a bit misty, but the sun was definitely winning.
