Common chiffchaff (Phylloscopus collybita)

Met two scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology at the pond of Munich Waldfriedhof cemetery today. They told me that they are doing research on "Sleeping behaviour of Canada geese". They are allowed to take some eggs from the breeding island in the pond. They raise the chicks and study their behaviour. Life could be worse.
