#FotoVorschlag: Typisch für deine Stadt/Region // Typical for your city/region

Hmmm. Gar nicht so einfach. Ziemlich typisch für meine Heimatregion, also das Gebiet Mittlere Elbe zwischen Magdeburg und Dessau, sind die Auenlandschaften. Ob Elbe, Mulde oder Ehle, wir haben ausgedehnte Überflutungsflächen, die zwar bei der jetzt eher typischen Trockenheit nicht oft zum Einsatz kommen, aber Städte wie Magdeburg schon öfter vor Hochwasser gerettet haben. Unser #Umflutkanal in Biederitz stand z. B. zuletzt im Winter 2023/2024 unter Wasser, als das Pretziener Wehr gezogen wurde. Ansonsten sagen sich hier Fuchs und Reh gute Nacht – oder auch Biber und #Storch. Das erste Storchenpaar ist letzte Woche nach Biederitz zurückgekehrt!

Hmmm. This is quite a tricky one. I'd say the #floodplains are very typical of my region, the Middle Elbe, which lies between the cities of Magdeburg and Dessau. Along rivers like the Elbe, Mulde, and Ehle, we have vast water meadows that occasionally flood to protect cities such as Magdeburg. While it has been rather dry in recent years, these floodplains still play a crucial role. This one in #Biederitz, for example, was last flooded in the winter of 2023/2024 to shield Magdeburg and other towns from Elbe flooding. Most of the time though, these #meadows offer abundant wildlife, including foxes, roe deer, beavers, and #storks. The first breeding pair of white storks returned to Biederitz just last week!

Today during #hedgewatch our humans found this pattern on a #meadow. We explained them that these are tracks made by #voles that move under #snow.

Two fawn lilies whose flowers are just opening:

Oregon fawn lily (Erythronium oregonum) with yellowish white flowers. Often found on prairie and oak savanah, it likes sunny spots.

Pink fawn lily (Erythronium revolutum) with rose colored flowers. Found on woodland edges and near stream, it prefers moist soils and part-shade.

Both planted last fall.

Snow on the front yard meadow yesterday. The winter has been mild but keeps going.

#Meadow

The front meadow a couple weeks ago -- early March.

Early flowers:
Oregon fawn lily (Erythronium oregonum) and spring gold (Lomatium utriculatum).

Snow almost gone. The puddles are shrinking. Soon the meadow will awaken.

At night you can hear the little river roar from all the meltwater.

Nichts was kaputt scheint muss repariert werden.
Nothing broken needs fixing.
