I work in a house located right on the embarkment of river Drava in Maribor. It's very nice location, and every now and then I go out to have a smoke and enjoy the view on the river peacfuly flowing by.
Drava has been quite poluted not so long ago, but lately improved environment care, stricter rules and new refinery have made it alot cleaner. This resulted in many birds taking this spot for their living space. Even in winter the area is full of ducks, swans, segals, etc...
But today my usual sight on birds enjoying their time on the river was a bit different. There was a boat, with 3 people wearing those contamination suits, looking like they're from space, picking up a dead swan out of the watter.. Seeing this otherwise proud and beautiful animal picked up like this into a plastic bag, knowing that flu which killed it could maybe also be deadly to people, isn't a very nice sight.
