In Early Spring...

In this early spring we cannot see much green and flowers yet. Sometimes it is too cold... But the animals are attracted to each other or have already young. At this time of the year we can see how life is richness and wonderful. So: wherever you are stand today at a moment still and enjoy the spring!

When de winter was mild the spoonbills were confused. They built nests and then the forst came suddenly. The zookeepers of Rotterdam Zoo took care for the upbringing of the young Spoonbills.
