Neue nachhaltige & barrierefreie Bänke vor der HAWK-Mensa in #Hildesheim!
Sie sind aus hochverpressten Bambus und Metall gefertigt, und bieten 64 Plätze sowie 6 barrierefreie. Die Konstruktion ist sehr gelungen, passt auf jeden Fall“, sagt Mattis Erdbrink, Holzingenieurwesen im 2. Semester. Zana-Aylin Ayhan, die soziale Arbeit im 5. Semester studiert, freut sich: „Endlich mal mehr Sitzplätze, auch modernere.“

On my afternoon walk, I thought I saw one of the plastic predator bird statues on a suburban fence. Wrong. It was an actual hawk, probably waiting for a rabbit to appear.

I'm guessing from size and color it is a red-shouldered hawk. Also, there is a deciduous forest and river nearby - their favorite haunt.
