Hamburg’s white heralds of spring are among us again

Hamburg Neustadt Kleine Alster Swans and geeseToday was the day: father swan Olaf Nieß and his colleagues brought our white heralds of spring back to the Alster. Records of the Alster swans, which have been under special protection since the 12th century, date back to the 16th century: It is not only forbidden to kill or injure them, but even to insult them.
