Many small bays and islets, and especially now in spring, there are an incredible number of breeding or migrating birds: e.g., swans, mandarin ducks, great crested grebes, mallards, Egyptian geese, and coots. It's noticeable that the area has been abandoned for the past few years, left to the birds. I think that due to the stress caused by walkers, including those with dogs and cyclists, the breeding density will be lower next year.
