In winter, the Flaucher, a section of the Isar in Munich, is home to countless mute swans - and a great spot for nature photography in Munich. The swans like to use the coarse gravel beaches and the shallow waters of the Isar to rest. In winter, Munich is a few degrees warmer than its rural surroundings - and this attracts many animals to the city. <\/p>\n\n
In addition to swans, greylag geese, bar-headed geese, mallards and goosanders can always be seen at the Flaucher. A large flock of black-headed gulls also circles above the winter walkers. The nearby Hellabrunn Zoo does the rest to attract them with its increased food supply. <\/p>\n\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n\n
However, there is a special provision for the swans: two pensioners have been coming to the Flaucher every winter afternoon between 4 and 5 pm for years to provide the swans with real concentrated feed: wheat, corn and oatmeal are on the menu. The birds already know their human feeders and wait with their necks raised until the food pours into the water. <\/p>\n\n
For photographers, the Flaucher is a great opportunity to get very close to these white beauties, as they are not shy at all. <\/p>\n\n
