Mushroom discovery in Brandenburg

In spring, during the first wave, my wife worked a lot with the bird app from the Natural History Museum in Berlin.
It was then that I met the pied flycatcher.
This is the marriage swindler among the birds.
The male builds several nests, which it then offers to various unsuspecting females who always arrive a little later from the south.
The pied flycatcher is gone now.
He spends the winter in tropical Africa.
I am still here.
I watch the geese and the starlings.
Soon I'll be alone with the crows.
My wife is now concentrating on the flight radar app because BER has recently been open.
I've never written a line about the airport, especially not an ironic one.
I was glad he couldn't finish.
One of the approach curves, I think with a westerly wind, touches our weekend property in the south of Brandenburg, albeit at a distance.
The airport is now in operation and it is even quieter here than before.
If I can hear an airplane, I give my wife a look.
She then quickly checks the app.
We are a well-coordinated team.
Last weekend my daughter was visiting with a fellow student.
It was a warm day, we were sitting on the terrace in the afternoon sun, cleaning mushrooms.
It was buzzing in the sky.
