Honorable mentions:
(6) Medicago lupulina (not Trifolium but looks similar)
Not in the picture but only a few meters away:
[7] Trifolium ochroleucon (?!)
[8] Trifolium arvense
Growing in a newly reconstructed retention area with seemingly poor soil and low vegetation.
Also RIP: Bolboschoenus laticarpus
f. albinos
on granite - ca. 1200m elev.
Fruchtstiele dicht mit kurzen Drüsen besetzt; bis zu 9-blütig; Basallappen der Laubblattspreite nicht oder kaum überdeckend; Laubblattstiel mit kurzen Drüsen besetzt, wobei die Drüsenstiele nur 2-5 x so lang sind wie das Drüsenköpfchen (auf den letzten zwei Fotos kann man dies erahnen).
Last two photos: comparison with E. sumatrensis
Sehr ähnlich und leicht zu verwechseln mit Melilotus officinalis, jedoch eine Art der Feuchtlebensräume!
Flügel so lang oder kaum länger als das Schiffchen (bei M. officinalis deutlich länger); Fruchtknoten und Früchte schwach behaart (bei M. officinalis völlig kahl); reife Früchte undeutlich netzrunzelig (bei M. officinalis deutlich querrunzelig).
Für M. altissimus und M. officinalis gilt gleichermaßen: untere Nebenblätter oft mit 1-2 Zähnen, obere schmal-linealisch ohne Zähne; Fiederblättchen der unteren Stängelblätter meist deutlich breiter als die der oberen.
Letzte zwei Bilder: Blüten und junge Früchte im Vergleich von M. altissimus (links) und M. officinalis (rechts).
The uppermost blossom on each stem of this plant looks like that. The others all look normal.
Identification based on the shape and size of the leaves and the presence of small hairs of 1-2 cells long on the abaxial surface.
Pictures of hairs taken from the microscope on the 23rd of June 2022.
Identification based on the size of the impressive height of the plant, on the shape and great size of the leaves as well as their thickness, and on the long hairs observable on their abaxial surface.
Bike for scale.

As I was taking a picture of this female Common Merganser (Gänsesäger) in the channel at the entry of Nymphenburg Palace, she suddenly raced away with her bill and eyes under water. I first thought she was chasing Black-headed Gulls, but she surfaced with a Chub that was so large and heavy that she lost her grip on it. She must have stunned the fish, because she pulled it out again after searching for it under water. This time, she didn’t only struggle with the weight of the fish, she was also surrounded by excited Gulls who wanted to get a bite. The Merganser tried in vein to get airborne with the heavy load, and eventually had to drop her prey… She seemed pumped up and excited after this catch and shook her feathers and flapped her wings for a bit. And then she continued her search.

It seems to be the first record for Austria.
