I thought they were all dead. Not so!
They're still around, and a big, fat and really mean mosquito even did manage to bite me even though only my face and my hands were exposed (as it still was cold and windy, and overcast, and ugly, and whatnot).
But I tell you what, I felt home again!
(Nevertheless I am looking forward to 'feeling home' in Lobau soon, when the first frosts come, and when therefore I won't have to fear any mosquitos anymore.)
(Species information: Carpinus betulus - Weissbuche/Hainbuche, hornbeam.)
