Description

Leaving Thun I continue my way along the water of Lake Thun. Many birds come and go. Water is always an attractive place for birds. I get the opportunity to spot the common merganser (Mergus merganser) and I'm glad I can shoot it. It has a remarkable bill with a black end on it, pointed downwards. Minolta X-700 (Fuji Sensia 100, 300 mm) Thanks for your attention and your always valuable comments

The mergansers look like violinists. Very peaceful here by the lake.
