The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

For most of the last week I have been stricken with a very persistent and annoying throat virus which is seriously restricting my excursions. The furthest I have got is up to the Little Mermaid to look at the water birds.

There has been a thaw of late and, although most freshwater lakes are still frozen, Nyhavn is now pretty much ice-free for the first time since late December and all of the sea water canals are now open again.

Spring passage is already underway with nearly 800 Common Buzzards migrating north reported from one site in northern Sjaelland yesterday.

I nicknamed this trio The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.
