A foggy October's day at Querciola Pond

  Today's landscape, Querciola pond, Parco della Piana, October, 2020 Today was not the best morning to take pictures at the Parco della Piana di Sesto (Florence, Tuscany). However, recent rains have made the ponds alive, which have become filled with many bird species, like the Northern Shoveler - Mestolone ( Spatula clypeata ), the Teal - Alzavola ( Anas crecca ), the Mallard - Germano reale ( Anas plathyrynchos ) for the dabbling ducks; the Little Grebe - Tuffetto ( Tachybaptus ruficollis ), the Eurasian Coot - Folaga ( Fulica atra ), the Moorhen - Gallinella d'acqua ( Gallinula chloropus ) and the Grey Heron - Airone cinerino ( Ardea cinerea ). In the reeds there were many Common Chiffchaffs - Luì piccoli ( Phylloscopus collybita ) and a Cetti's Warbler - Usignolo di fiume ( Cettia cetti ). Northern Shovelers - Mestoloni.
