Die bekannten Türen der Altstadt von Funchal. Diese Türenmalereien aus der Zona Velha sind sogar auf Ansichtskarten verewigt. In der Realität ist das allerdings nicht so überaus toll. Kann man, muß man aber nicht gesehen haben. Vor allem nerven die Schlepper aus den dort ansässigen Restaurants, die alle Nase lang frage, ob man nicht was […]

Madeira – Ponta do Pargo
Ponta do Pargo ist am süd-östlichen Zipfel von Madeira. Neben dem Farol Ponta do Pargo hatten wir auch einen Abstecher zum Wasserfall “Garganta Funda” eingeplant. Am Ponta do Pargo Leuchtturm war zunächst bedeckter Himmel. Der Wasserfall war jetzt nun nicht unbedingt ein Highlight, eher dürftig. Dies ist wohl dem trockenen Wetter geschuldet. Dennoch, etwas weiter […]
Madeira – Funchal (1)
Vom diesjährigen Urlaub ein paar Eindrücke. Zunächst einmal drei Panoramen von Funchal. Die Stadt selbst ist jetzt nicht so der Bringer, aber ganz nett. Durch die extreme Hanglage hat man an vielen Orten einen schönen Überblick über die Stadt. Vom Parque Infantil “Pico dos Barcelos” schaut man in östliche Richtung über die Stadt. Der Hafenbereich […]
Common whitethroat
I am not so sure about the assignment, but it should be a Common whitethroat, which I photographed this morning in the nature reserve. There was also a European stonechat nearby.
Old Sahlenburg shooting range
Another area worth a closer look. This morning it wasn’t quite as productive, but that’s also because the trees have a lot of foliage and the birds can’t be seen very well. The area also offers a lot of other photographic points.
Yellowhammer and Common chiffchaff
Short visit at the nature reserve. The light was not so good, but it was enough for the two pictures.
Early morning in the nature reserve
In the evening light I didn’t like the landscape so much, so I tried to take the same picture the following days hoping for good weather in the early morning. Unfortunately, in the last few days, the weather put a spoke in my wheel. This morning it worked (almost) for a short time. Not quite as […]
European Robin
Another European robin today… Very close. Besides, behind the fence to the rear cattle sat a few wheatears, but a little far away, so just documentary. But it is certainly worth to have a closer look there.
European Robin, Stonechat and Whinchat
Three at a stroke. Unfortunately the sky was overcast and it was quite hazy, but still I had the opportunity with the three species.
Nature reserve sunset
Lastly missed because of too many clouds coming up and on the last two days because I hadn’t expected a good sunset, I tried it again yesterday. But there were hardly any clouds in the sky, so it’s not as I imagined it would be. But, after all, quite nice so far. The panorama shot […]
