Good but not brillant weather for another look at Cuxhaven’s Kugelbake area for some seafowl. Some Ruddy Turnstones around at the jetty. Shots were taken with the D500 and the Nikkor 200-400 (with and without TC-14).

Cuxhaven – Sandpipers and other local seafowl
Brillant weather and very good time for shooting some local seafowl in Cuxhaven near Kugelbake monument. Will be the last time this year.
Eurasian curlew in Cappel-Neufeld
Around 100 birds of this species are around Cappel-Neufeld area. The fillet there allows for nice positioning of tripod with camera. However, no close-ups possible there, so one would need good amount of focal length for some shootings. Used the D500 with the Nikkor 500f4 and TC-14 mounted on the Berlebach Uni-16 with Wimberley WH-200 […]
Sea-fowl on an overcast day
Very bad weather for doing some sea-fowl shots but I wanted to get out and do some. Not a lot to be kept on my disk though.

Anyway, some impressions… Very early morning shots of the geese also being in that area. Thousands of birds suddenly going up. Unfortunately the cranes […]
Cuxhaven – Common terns
Some more time spent to shoot some common terns. Besides those I also did some bunblebee shots in the garden which came out quite nicely.
Cuxhaven – Common terns
I was out to the Kugelbake area to shoot some common terns. Unfortunately the wind direction was from south-east so it was rarely seen from front when the terns flew up from the water after they picked a fish as they mostly get up against the wind. First day I used the D500 with my […]

White-tailed Eagle
Went to an area near to my hometown where White-tailed eagles were seen recently. Right when I arrived one eagle was perching on a tree. He flew off for a while but came back and I was lucky that I grabbed that situation. Using the brand-new D500 with the Nikkor 500 plus TC-14 for all […]
