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.

Birds in the backyard 2016
End of October, so, time to put the feeders back. After a short while the birds came and started to enjoy the diverse food that is offered.
No luck with cranes
Went to the Rehdener Geestmoor to see the huge crane crowds during migration season. Up to 20000 birds are out there. Well, weather wasn’t good and so also the pictures went. 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.

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 […]

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 […]

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.
