The Lahn floodplains are an important bird breeding area/nature reserve. Binoculars help us observe the many herons, cormorants, ducks, and geese that are currently quacking low overhead in pairs – even storks clatter during their flight! The two rabbits and the deer are quieter. With so many pairs of geese nesting in the floodplain, I'm sure we'd find large Easter eggs.
