Taken on the very same day a year ago at the very same spot. This image was processed just now. Back then the whole are was covered with snow and I saw no footprints in the snow. I was alone with the birds. At one of the accessible corners there was a very small open water where these males were doing their courtship performance and flying around.

Smashing capture Karl and a boon to be alone with them.
