Kestrel tercel on the former airfield Berlin Tempelhof. We had rather bad weather and Light, but I like the shot. This guy was really trusting for a wild bird of prey.
And as a bonus “his wife” ;)

Birdcloud
A cloud of thousands of geese and cranes in Linum, Germany.
Cranesfield
A typical Field around Linum, Brandenburg. Go away, this is crane-land!
To the South!
Cranes prepare to continue their migration southwards. Currently ~130.000 having a few days break in Linum, near Berlin.
Got it!
After some missed he finally catched the lure. At Falkenhof Potsdam.

Grey Heron
A grey heron we met in Stangenhagen, Brandenburg in the early hours. Actually we waited for cranes but the heron is a bird, has feathers, so why not.
The Fog
27.09.2014 | Linum
Very dense Fog in the early morning. Looks and feels weird to be in such a “small” world.

Black-chested
This is a portrait of an Black-chested buzzard-eagle (Geranoaetus melanoleucus) – what a name~
Flocking Starlings
Juvenile Starlings flocking together. They will do the long migration together. Found them on the formal airport Berlin-Tempelhof.
Fehmarn 2014
A bunch of pictures of the Excursion to Fehmarn 2014. Visited the water-bird-sanctuary wallnau and the nature around it.
The highlight for me was a foto of an Eurasian bittern. They live really hidden and move rarely but make an really unique sound which reminds me of dubstep.
The Long One
18.05.2014 | Berlin
Long Tailed Tits are a really busting kind if burds. Following them with a long lense throught dense branches is a horror. And having only low light cause of rain is not helping. Anyway. Really beautiful, very small birds.
Cormorant
20.04.2014 | Ilkerbruch | Niedersachen
Rather rainy day in Ikerbruch. But after some waiting a cormorant appeared and showed his fishing skills. He was somewhat more effective then the great crested grebe nearby.
Common Starlings
13.04,2014 | Charlottenburg | Berlin
I had having dinner as a starling arrived on my balcony. He sat there on the handrail and started singing. After some moments a second appeared and watched him singing. They ran around the handrail, flew aweay a few meters and returned. Are they going to built a nest here? Anyway, what beautiful birds.
Marsh Harriers
06.04.2014 | Karow | Berlin
I was really happy to see the pair of Western Marsh Harriers (Circus aeruginosus) back in their territories. I already found them last year and was able to watch them raising their chicks. Now they are rebuilding their nest which is between high vegetation on the ground. Western Marsh Harriers are rare and had difficulties finding fitting territories which led to nesting far from lakes in fields where the farmers killed lots of them by accident.
