​Today's birdwatching in Lausanne was a great success! We recorded 13 bird species, with the best spot so far being near Half Moon Rocks, a port with a beautiful and peaceful view. Watching birds while surrounded by the calming waterfront made the experience even more enjoyable.

If you're in the area, this is definitely a spot worth visiting! 

Birds we spotted:

• Black-headed Gull (Chroicocephalus ridibundus) 
• Mute Swan (Cygnus olor)
• Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos)
• Eurasian Coot (Fulica atra)
• Common Pochard (Aythya ferina)
• Great Crested Grebe (Podiceps cristatus)
• Gadwall (Mareca strepera)
• Tufted Duck (Aythya fuligula)
