Morning session The last day of our stay in Feldberg. Another try with the White-tailed Eagle but none was seen during the boat ride. A Red Kite stopped by grabbing the eel which was thrown to attract the eagles. As no other bird was seen and it was also quite cold we went back to enjoy […]

Feldberger Seenlandschaft – Day 2
White-tailed eagle In the morning we go out again to see whether the white-tailed eagle named Aalfred would come to grab some lure. Lucky we were seeing him in the trees where he normally sits and waits. Once Fred is shouting and throws the eel out, he really takes off and grabs the fish. Unfortunately […]
Feldberger Seenlandschaft – Day 1
The tour We booked three days with Ranger Tours to do another session – like last year – for in-flight shooting of white-tailed eagles attracted with eels to fly close by the boat and allow amazing shots of the eagles grabbing the fish. Besides eagle shooting, the booked session also entailed evening boat rides to have […]
Birds in the backyard 2016
Assignation at the feeder place. Besides several Eurasian Tree Sparrows and Great Tits, a Greenfinch and a Hedge Sparrow showed up during a 1h session. Unfortunately the Long-tailed Tits did not pass by. Have only seen them once here and the shots I took are not really worth to be kept.
Birds in the backyard 2016
Haven’t done bird shooting in my backyard for quite some time. Today I took the chance to do some shots at the feeder place.
Cuxhaven – Other local seafowl
Second try with the Nikkor 500f4, this time using the D7200. Was lucky to get some close Oystercatchers as they are normally quite shy. The lens does not perform as great as with the D4, but that’s not a surprise. Some quality trade-off is because of the smaller pixel-pitch of the D7200 but some is […]
Cuxhaven – Sandpipers
Desperately waiting to get a chance to try out the recently bought AF-S 500f4 lens. The weather today morning was nice and 2 hours left before high tide, so I went to Kugelbake and looking for some Sandpipers there. Fortunately not too many people were around and I was lucky to get some good shots. […]
Cuxhaven – Sandpipers
The owls are gone so having at least lot of seafowl left here. Was shortly looking at Kugelbake area and found 2 sandpiper species.
Sumpfohreulen – Dreizehnte Runde
Ein weiterer kurzer Aufenthalt am späten Nachmittag – bevor es zu regnen begann. Hauptsächlich konzentrierte ich mich auf Bilder von den Vögeln im Flug.
Sumpfohreulen – Noch sind sie da!
Ich dachte, dass sie vielleicht umgezogen sein könnten, da gestern den ganzen Tag über keiner zu sehen war und ich heute Morgen keinen gefunden habe. Später am Nachmittag waren aber noch 2 auf der Wiese.
