One of our primary objectives in visiting Germany was to visit Frickenhausen where I lived with my parents and sister in the early 1970's. This was my first trip back since I was the little kid with blonde hair in the pink pants. The steps, you can see, are exactly the same. I expected Frickenhausen to be charming but I did not expect it to be such a good place for birds. It's a great place for birds! Right on the Main River, quiet and beautiful. I still need help with the id's but the red faced birds are Goldfinch, the woodpecker is a Great-spotted Woodpecker, a Magpie is chasing a Kestrel ( I think), and a Kestrel is sitting atop the church.
