Today is World Wildlife Day. One of the main causes of the decline in wildlife populations is habitat destruction. In Germany, for example, this affects the wonderful common snipe, which is threatened with extinction here.

Odds and ends from the wetlands. Some pictures from the last weeks - resting barn swallows - gray wagtail - wood sandpiper (only rarely found as a breeding bird in Germany) - white wagtail - buffalo - bluethroat - common snipe (also threatened with extinction in Germany)
