Jacanas have very long toes that allow them to walk on the leaves of water lilies. They are present in every swamp of the country, and I can't remember exactly where this particular pic was taken!

The only remaining wild colonies of Bald Ibis are in Morocco and Syria, but earlier on it was widespread in Europe, too. In an attempt to reestablish the species, a new colony was introduced in Austria. These birds have been trained to fly behind an ultra-light plane, with the goal to teach them to migrate. From Austria they are taken to Italy for the winter, and that's where one can find them (about 30-40 birds).

A very common bird in the city. In December, chicks of many species are about to fledge. During this time they get out of their nests but are still fed by their parents (like the one in the picture).
