Der Sommer steht in den Startlöchern, es wird wärmer und Pflanzen tragen erste Früchte oder Blüten. Auch heimische Vögel sind zu dieser Jahreszeit sehr aktiv und mit etwas Geduld kann man Vogeleltern bei der Aufzucht ihrer Jungvögel beobachten. Durch die fortschreitende Urbanisierung haben es Vögel allerdings zunehmend schwerer, Nistplätze, Futter und geeignete Lebensräume zu finden – auch vor unserer Haustür.
