One of the artificial lakes here (Bielefeld, Germany) has been drained, presumably to have it cleaned.
There’s tonnes of trash and even some shopping carts at the bottom of it. One of the local coots seems to like one of the carts and made its nest on top of it.
Anyway, I did not expect there to be any other kinds wildlife there at the moment - but it seems as if the Black-Headed Gulls love this very shallow lake with lots of dirt islands in it!
So I went there yesterday evening and tried my hand at some flight shots. I’m still pretty bad at it, but I got a few that are okay.
