A round of Greifensee in warm weather, with a few White Storks and a large group of Common Reed Warblers and Eurasian Tree Sparrows in the reeds. I continued along the lake towards a marsh path, then followed the Glattweg to the Glattwehr. Eurasian Coots and Grey Herons were along the water, followed later by a Mute Swan and a few European Starlings. A quiet day that ended around sunset.
