A WEEKEND IN GERMANY part 1

Last week we went to Germany for 2 days to a place called Walsrode, about 450 km from where we live and near the city of Hannover. In Walsrode you have the biggest bird park in the world with over 4000 birds of 675 different species, and the birds are shown in a beautiful flower, tree ans shrub garden. We have been there a few times before and each time it’s a real treat for both of us, my husband prefers the birds, I prefer the flora.

As one picture says a 1000 words I am going to let the pictures speak for themselves, when you click on the pictures you’ll get them enlarged. Part 1 is about the birds.
