in front of my ground hide at a puddle in the gravel pit.
28 Celsius today. Saharan dust and pollen in the air. Really a weird April but it gets season like soon.

Not at all. I am just not used to it anymore after 6 months autumn/winter. I cycled and looked for birds the whole afternoon. Consumption: 2,75 litres spritzers with lemon juice and cola.
