It's the most beautiful time of the year, everything is in bloom and the trees are beginning to unfold their leaves. Went hiking and saw some cool birds!
Two Black Woodpeckers and a Hoopoe, also heard a Cuckoo. No chance of taking pics of any of them.

Surprisingly no wild boars though, only a hare. Also too fast for a photo.

Plant-wise there was a lot of Colchicum autumnale, enough to poison half Germany. Only the leaves though that people sometimes mistake for wild garlic and die, it flowers in autumn.

European biodiversity is low but in exchange, some species come in great abundance. The rare purple Hepatica nobilis, the white Anemone nemorosa and the yellow Anemone ranunculoides. If you find them, you find a lot, they literally cover the forest floor in dense mats.
