    13.10.2013 | Linum | Brandenburg Moments before the Sun rises on the horizon first masses of cranes getting airborne, leaving the lakes around heading towards feeding-places around. They fly some km to harvested field to feed and come back in the evening. It took half an hour before all cranes left the place.

    13.10.2013 : 7.00 | Linum | Brandenburg Getting up early in the morning at 5:30 for arriving in Linum before Sunset is somewhat taxing.

    Preyview

    03.10.2013 | Tempelhof | Berlin If you ever wondered how it feels being in the perspective of the “prey” of a common kestrel. This female hovers over the typical peeing place of mice, waiting for them to come. Kestrels can see light in the UV-spectrum. And mice-pee is glowing awesome in UV
