200mm forest – part ii
200mm Forest
Went to the forest with a single lens: a 70-200 f2.8. Wanted to test out of if I can limit myself to using just that. On a Crop Camera that is quiiiite the long lens.
But hey, challenges, right?

Hiding Cormorants
“You cant see me!”
Had quite the effective fishing trip this guy. With filled belly he had hard time taking off. Especially because the plumage is soaked completely :)


Middle Spotted Woodpecker II
While they dont leave in winter somehow i mostly “catch” them in the spring. They are kinda hard to come by.
Highland Cattle
Ohhgosh it’s no Bird! – But still it’s Berlin. They are used to keep open areas.. open. So grassland and swamps are not overwhelmed by trees. Some other species depend on that. So – still kinda related ;)
Sunset Berlin
This glowing red thing is about to hit the ground.
More Cormorant
I was walking around a Lake in Berlin, beautiful sunset. But its damn cold, my hands freeze holding the metal lense… A single cormorant was fishing.
Unfortunetly i cut the wing.. but in the action it’s hard todo, right?
