Benrath Schloss, a big pink palace in southern Düsseldorf is a great spot, but maybe not the birdiest set of grounds in mid-April. Lots of
Chiffchaffs singing, a
Blackcap, and the ever-present tits. Did add
Song Thrush to the trip list there, and enjoyed watching a
Wren shaking its wings in defense of its territory, and the courtship display of the
Great Tits. Otherwise, mostly a big reflecting pool--complete with
Greylag Goose,
Mute Swan, and
Great Cormorant. There weren't any
Tufted Ducks there today (there were over a dozen last week), so had to settle for a couple
Canada Goose, an
Egyptian Goose, and a
Moorehen.
