House sparrows and tree sparrows are making a hell of a racket these days. You can see them everywhere around the house. The feeding ground is rarely empty. In the Moment they also seem to be very fond of the flower buds of the rock pear…

Short-eared Owls in Schillig
Yesterday I drove to Schillig to take pictures of short-eared owls. No way like the owls in Cuxhaven 2016. Although I saw 5 at the same time (and there are supposed to be more), they are very shy and “unapproachable”. Nevertheless, I managed to take a few pictures. Hier sieht man schon, bei respektablem Abstand, […]

European Robin
Yesterday morning at the Pastor Draegert Trail I was again looking for the two kingfishers, unfortunately they only flew past twice. The robin was a bit more cooperative…
Sanderling
2 hours of sun and incoming water. Time for some pictures of the Sanderlings at the Kugelbake. With a rather strong wind, which blew incessantly from the west, the birds sat together in small groups directly along the path, while others were still picking up some food.
Snow Bunting and Ruddy Turnstone

Eurasian Treecreeper
Sooner or later, the weather really gets on your nerves… Anyway, just took a quick look if I get something in front of the lens; and, lo and behold, a Eurasian Treecreeper. Actually I was looking for the kingfisher in the area, but he did not show up today.
Extremadura – Habichtsadler
Der Tag im Ansitz für den Habichtsadler (Bonelli’s Eagle) war mit Abstand der beste Tag der Reise. Allein dafür hat es sich schon gelohnt in die Extremadura zu fahren. Hier gelang mir dann auch ein Panorama-Bild aus drei Portraitaufnahmen. Die beiden saßen nie zusammen, immer auf gewissem Abstand. Für die 300er und 500er […]
Extremadura – Eisvogel
Ein Vormittag im Eisvogel Versteck. Anfangs hielten sich die Vögel weit entfernt im hinteren (und dunklen) Teil des Gebiets auf. Später dann, eigentlich kurz bevor die Zeit um war, dann auch näher. Am Ende veranstaltete das Weibchen dann auch noch eine regelrechte Show… Es gelang mir auch zweimal den schnellen Vogel im Flug zu erwischen. […]
