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.
Thunderstorm
14.04.2014 | Charlottenburg | Berlin
An impressive cloud. Today was a really interesting weather with all conditions i can think of.
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.
GreatCrestedCrebe
30.03.2014 | Blankensee | Brandenburg
The Great Crested Crebe Podiceps cristatus has an interesting courtship perfectly mirroring the partners movements. It ends with running over the water. This one did that alone.
Silvershine
08.03.2014 | Havelland | Brandenburg
This Great Egret is enough for himself. Creates a point of silvershine on the endless water.

Hating Swan
23.02.2014 | Karow | Berlin
This male-swan really hate having other birds nearby. Following them across the lake until they finally move they ass away. But, its spring, birds are only humans, too ;)
Chilled Greyleg
02.03.2014 | Karow | Berlin
This greyleg goose was quite chilled. Normally they have a long flight-distance.
Partnerflight
29.02.2014 | Karow | Berlin
We got spring very early this year. You can already see the greylag gooses engaging in their partner flights. They start to do that when the partners find eachother and “hang around” together rather than with the whole flock.

08.11.2013 | Moorbruchwiesen | Steinhuder-Meer | Niedersachen
… to the Water
Its an interesting way over the nature-sanctuary “Moorbruchwiesen” in Hannover, Germany to the lake “Steinhuder Meer” . But it was better than expected.

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.
