... or, how wild animals take advantage of silly humans — year after year. Your call.
Video One: Mallard nest, 5th floor balcony, Turku, Finland. 5th consecutive year. Transport to the river included.

Video Two: Swan family, Kemi, Finland. For many years, a whooper swan couple has been raising their offspring on a small lake (seen right in the below map). Once old enough (yet nowhere near being able to fly), the parents move the cygnets to the sea. Only thing, they have to cross the motorway (use an overpass) and the railway tracks (human assistance required as seen in the video) on their way through the church park (red dot on the map) to the sea. Humans gather along the way to stop the traffic and help out. The trip took three and half hours this year.
