Common Chaffinch Song

Dennis

Today during my hike, I noticed a singing bird in the tree, it was the common chaffinch you can see in the photo of this post. I thought that I would have no chance to take a photo, because these small birds are often very shy, and if they are somewhere in the trees, the distance is a problem as well.

In this case, the bird was two meters above me, I went a few … Continue reading Common Chaffinch Song

I always planned something like this, if it wouldn’t have happened … Continue reading Contact With The Outside

Yellow Farmland

Dennis

It’s the first time I don’t like an English translation. I just typed the German word for this seed into an online dictionary and was pretty surprised about the translation, it’s a quite ambiguous word. Is this crop really called “rape” in English, or is there a better translation? I found the word “coleseed”, but the dictionary says it is a dated English word. Anyway, let’s talk about the photo. Of course, I took the photo again during one of my hikes. I liked the tracks of the tractors in the field, because it gives the image a bit of … Continue reading Yellow Farmland
