Anas platyrhynchos
Ducks are a type of fauna. This is a species of DUCK, we know if they are MALE or FEMALE because of their colours: if Ana platyrhynchos have a brown neck they are female, and if they have a green neck they are male.
Another curious fact is that the DUCKS LOVE THE WATER, and most of the time they are on the lake.

FAUNA: COLUMBIDAE
At the lake, there were lots of doves. Also, the people gave them some bread, and later, they flew to a tree called Taxodium.
The day that we went to Retiro, there were lots of doves that people started getting crazy!🕊
At the left there is a photo where people were looking at a lot of flying doves.

FLORA: Taxodium distichum
This tree is one of the few conifers that can live in the water. Its broad base gives it stability, and the root area (neumatophores) can only be seen when the water level in the pond lowers. The roots give the tree greater fixation.
LANDSCAPE
There is a lot of space to move, also the people with difficulties can enter by another different way.
You can get in by: bus, metro, walking, running and people with difficulties, first they can go by bus and later enter to Retiro without difficulties because there is a ramp.
HISTORY : THE CRYSTAL PALACE
The stunning glass Palacio de Cristal, or the Crystal Palace, is an emblematic structure in Madrid's Parque del Buen Retiro. The building, erected in 1887, was designed by architect Ricardo Velázquez Bosco and based on a similar structure built in London several years prior.
