Luppmen, the train line, and Wildertweiher

Walked along the Luppmen, found the long-tailed tits in the industrial area, by the train line identified the moorhens that hide themselves as soon as they notice me, then went on to the area of Wildertweiher and the nature area where I once again saw a great spotted woodpecker and heard the evil laugh of the black woodpecker. A total of 21 species is included, 21 of them have been observed.
