In spite of their name large fruit bats/ large flying foxes are vegetarians! Our zoological- botanical garden has been breeding them for a long time. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_flying_fox
Trotz des Namens sind Flugfüchse Vegetarier, die sich von Früchten ernähren. In der Wilhelma kann man sie im Schmetterlingshaus abhängen sehen. www.wilhelma.de/nc/de/aktuelles-und-presse/pressemitteilungen/2014/23072014-flugfuchs.html

Grey herons have made Stuttgart's zoological-botanical garden their home, breeding on the old trees and fishing in the river Neckar nearby. They are not averse to stealing fish when the sealions are fed;-)
In Stuttgarts Wilhelma nistet eine Kolonie Graureiher auf den Bäumen der Platanenalle. Die Vögel sind alles andere als scheu und klauen gerne bei den Seelöwenfütterungen ein paar Fische. Ansonsten fischen sie im nahen Neckar.

The Sunday Challenge (TSC): BIRDS/BIRD -Living birds, not dead or ornaments
These wild storks made our zoo "Wilhelma" their home. They enjoy the easy life with abundant food- it remains to be seen whether they will migrate to Africa in the winter. Their predecessor stayed here because she had an injured leg and got used to the comfort of her surroundings ( the silly thing once foraged for food in the middle of a big road and got hit by a car...). If you look hard you can see sparrows bottom left- they build their nests underneath the storks' nest!
Inset a wider view of the building with the nest on top.
Other wild birds living in "Wilhelma" include cormorants, grey herons, mallards, coots and a large number of the usual birds found in parks and gardens.

When it's feeding time for the pelicans both grey herons and cormorants try stealing some of the fish (see note)

Saturday Self Challenge (SSC): Eyes
Went to the zoo and braved the Halloween crowds to find some birds' eyes. The pink pelicans were the nearest I could get, inset kookaburra, peacock

Grey herons have established a breeding colony in Stuttgart's zoological-botanical garden "Wilhelma" and aren't shy at all. Walking below the trees with nests is strictly at your own risk;-)

Graureiher haben seit Jahren eine Brutkolonie in der Stuttgarter Wilhelma und sind überhaupt nicht scheu. Unter den Bäumen mit den Nestern bewegt man sich auf eigenes Risiko;-)
