Had a trip to Skomer Island (Pembrokeshire) last week. Still going through some 1500 photos, mostly puffins, some in flight like this one coming in to land...

Stunning 👌

The water at a local lake is so low the plughole is visible!

Same story here in Germany where I am.

No rain on the horizon either.

Amazing place 😎 No signs of Messrs Hanks nor Da Vinci 🙄

And the owner was nice enough to tell us where they roost, and where to not park! 💩

The ducklings are growing rapidly.

We'd parked up in our usual lay-by to catch the sunset and found the bird table had an opportunistic visitor!

White Stork with a chick

@Lee01 that looks a proper dodgy place for a nest 😁

I think they put those tall poles up for them to nest on so they don't nest on the leccy pylons. They do like a room with a view!

Saw this Freightliner (FLD?) on the road today. Took it through the windscreen while sat at a four way.
Lots of US old timers out and about here (holiday).
