It´s obvious, spring is here but ice still on the shallow water behind the main building. And new arrivals are sliding on it.  But for tomorrow the weather forecast says: SNOW, a lot! Confusing, isn´t it?

Fallow deer female and young with whooper svans in the background. 

If you look closely the deer are getting their thicker winter coat. If I did not know better I would think they needed a haircut. :)

This is one of our ponds where there usually are rather many birds. It is devided in two by the road. 
The water is very low. More then 50 cm lower then normal. The swan whould not be able to stand at that location. And the green grass area should be under water enough to allow ducks and grebes to dive.
