Eurasian Jay In The Forest Near A Pond


Walking near the pond in Reinfeld is interesting, I do always find birds there. Today I went out for a walk again, and apart from different birds, I saw the bird you can see in the photo, the bird is called Eurasian jay (Garrulus glandarius). I saw this bird already a few times there, for example some weeks ago but I didn’t upload the photos yet. I did also record a short video of this bird a few weeks ago, but I was too lazy to upload it to YouTube, but I will do this soon. Talking about the photo … Continue reading Eurasian Jay In The Forest Near A Pond

Eurasian Treecreeper Again


One day ago I uploaded a photo of an Eurasian treecreeper. I edited another photo today, and thought I upload one of these birds again. Without taking a look at the metadata of the image, I assume that I shot the photo the same day. I shot several photos of them in February, because I know where they hang around. I will upload more photos of Eurasian treecreepers in the future, once I have edited them a bit. Meanwhile you might be interested to take a look at my other bird photos, I am happy that my collection is growing. Continue reading Eurasian Treecreeper Again

Running Up A Tree


It seems I shot a photo of an Eurasian treecreeper, that’s at least what I found out during my research and when I compared the results with my photo. I saw this kind of bird quite often since I am in Reinfeld. I usually see them near the pond at the trees, and it almost looks like they run up trees. If my research is right, then it would fit, because the German name for the Eurasian treecreeper is “Waldbaumläufer”, which means something like “Forest Tree Runner”, literally translated. As said, they really run up trees, and I wouldn’t even … Continue reading Running Up A Tree

Beautiful Yellow Bird


In this post you can see a photo of another bird I found in the mentioned bird station. I saw several signs with explanations of the birds, but I think they had more bird species than signs. So, in this case I can just assume that the bird in the photo is a canary bird. I am sad that I shot the photos in the evening during overcast sky, because I had to use ISO 1600 and that is the reason why the image is so noisy. I didn’t want to use the noise reduction feature in Lightroom too heavily, … Continue reading Beautiful Yellow Bird

Beautiful Golden Pheasant


Today I walked again through one of the small forests in Reinfeld, and I found a small station where you can watch birds. I actually found this place already a month ago, but it was difficult to take photos with my 18-105mm lens, because the birds are in big cages and I couldn’t get close enough with that lens. Now I have the Tamron 70-300mm lens and this allows me to get closer to all kind of subjects. But there was still the grid of the cages between me and the birds, but I noticed that the grid would basically … Continue reading Beautiful Golden Pheasant

Beautiful Eurasian Coot


In the photo above you can see an Eurasian coot, I shot the photo near a pond when I walked through the parks. I believe it’s the first time that I took a photo of an Eurasian coot, or the first time I uploaded one to my blog. It’s good to have some other bird photos uploaded to the blog, although it’s sad that we don’t have so much colourful birds in Germany, our birds are rather common and not so paradisiacal, but still beautiful I think.
