A flock of nothern ducks flying in front of the church in the village of Musov, where the Nove Mlyny water reservoirs were built, flooding everything but the church. More than 70,000 northern ducks are wintering in the Nove Mlyny water reservoirs in South Moravia, about 30km south of Brno. Nove Mlyny is the largest wintering area for birds in the Czech Republic and one of the most significant bird areas in Central Europe. Photo courtesy: AFP
