    Most of our birds our grey, brown, black. But this one brings some color in the local avifauna. European goldfinch.

  • Chicks

    Chicks

            The Greylag goose in Berlin have their chicks. They are growing really fast. This one is 2-3 weeks old. The parents do really dont like me in their proximity.

  • Cormorant II

    Aand another cormorant. On a lake in Charlottenburg this time again. The coot was all but happy the visit, but the cormorant just wanted to rest a little bit.

  • Deer

    Deer

    Edge of the forest – and Edge of a Reed-field. With the sun being very close to the ground and announcing the evening this deer gives a brief visit.

  • Bearded Tit

    Bearded Tit

    Bearded Tit, or bearded reedling. I really like this bird, its colorful and has a nice contrast. It lives hidden in the reed. Your only chance to have a clear view is to wait at the end of an reed-field for them to appear to enjoy some sun.

  • Starlings Returned

    Starlings Returned

    Welcome back dear starlings. They are sitting on my balcony and singing. Soon they will built a nest – as they did last year. Gosh its so hard to take a good picture of a really dark bird.

  • Hooded Crow Hybrid

    Hooded Crow Hybrid

    There are hooded crows, and there are carrion crows. Normally they don’t meet each other because there is a natural border in Germany, the river Elbe, which eachother dont cross. (much). Sometimes there are hybrids of these species, and this is one of them.

  • Northern Gannet

    Northern Gannet

    One of multiple posts for this animal in the near future. I brought quite some nice picture from helgoland with me. They are currently building their nests and mating. All of this are free birds, of course.
