Colorcontrast
Most of our birds our grey, brown, black. But this one brings some color in the local avifauna.
European goldfinch.
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
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, 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
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
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.
Oystercatcher
Or to be precise: Eurasian oystercatcher. The first of the birds I shoot during my stay at Helgoland, and definitely one of the “character birds” of the island. You can see and hear them everywhere. They are pretty big, but hard to photograph because of the black/white contrast. You can choose to fail-exposure the black or the white. But apart from that: pretty birds.
Harbor Seal
I just returned from a holiday on Helgoland, and the first pictures I post are NOT of a bird. Weird thing, hu? – There will be birds, of course, and there will be a summary post for Helgoland. But for now, some habor seals ;)
Canada Goose
Beautiful evening. A pair of canada goose relaxed in the golden sun.
Greenfinch
Some greenfinches (Chloris chloris) sitting in their lookouts and singing to attract the females.
Reed Bunting
A reed bunting (Emberiza schoeniclus) is soaked by the rain. Its searching for small snails, insects and worms in the wet ground.
Work Work
Just 2 “making off” pictures of today. Was quite the rain, but the equipment is weather sealed – so the only wet thing here was me. But thats okay.
Washing Programm
A reed bunting (Emberiza schoeniclus) is soaked by the rain. It enter the dry programme and rotates fast to get the feathers dry again. Shoot in Wuhle, Marzahn.
My Home
This tree sparrow find a home, and a partner. – Perfect Day for birdy.
Great Tit
Great tit hanging around. And feeding.
White Stork
The spring is here! Or is already sommer?. My first white stork in this season so I guess this is a male. The Males arrive first, prepare the nest, and then wait for the females to appear, hoping the made the long travel.
