A short walk by the lake next to Port de la Perle du Lac in Geneva turned into a nice little birdwatching session. In just a brief time, we recorded six bird species, proving that even a casual stroll can be rewarding for wildlife enthusiasts!

Geneva's lakeside is full of surprises, and it’s always great to see how much biodiversity is right in the city. A reminder that you don’t need to go far to connect with nature—sometimes, it’s just a walk away!

Birds we spotted:

• Great Crested Grebe (Podiceps cristatus) 
• Black-headed Gull (Chroicocephalus ridibundus) 
• Common Merganser (Mergus merganser) 
• Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos)
• Feral Pigeon (Columba livia var. domestica)
  
• Eurasian Coot (Fulica atra)
