August 23, 2024,Von Bremgarten rund um den Flachsee

It's been a while since my last hike.
Today I'm heading to the Flachsee near Bremgarten.
I'm not really hoping to see or hear many birds. But there were a few water birds and ducks and herons to be seen.
I even saw a kingfisher catching fish.

Shady paths came later, …

The start is Unterlunkhofen and the finish too. We go for a ride to the beautiful town of Bremgarten, always along the river. On the way I meet bird …
