Bolzano - Eisack River

 The Eisack/Isarco River in Bolzano, just after the Loreto bridge. Rapids on the one side (image above) - quiet like a pond on the other side (image below).

In between I caught this heron, a rare species to be seen in Bolzano.

In springtime you can observe here various families of ducks - female ducks with their ducklings at the first outings in the river, a veritable kinderstube for these tiny youngsters.
