Here Is Another Pretty Bird

Dennis

As I take more photos than I can publish at a time, I thought that I upload one that I shot two months ago. I found this bird in March on a tree, it should be a great tit (Parus major). This bird is pretty too, and I saw the bird quite often on my hikes, but most of the images I shot were not good enough to upload. However, the two photos in this post are ok, because you can see the bird well. I didn’t crop the image nor did I edit the image, because I liked the … Continue reading Here Is Another Pretty Bird

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. I often try to take the photos anyway, because I can decide at home if they are good or if I want to delete them. In this case, the bird was two meters above me, I went a few … Continue reading Common Chaffinch Song

Beautiful Forest Bird

Dennis

Today I walked through the forest again and then I saw a bird in the bush, it’s most likely an Eurasian blackcap bird, a male, because the females have an orange cap and not a black one. During my research I also thought it could be a March tit or the Willow tit, but now I am sure it’s the Eurasian blackcap because the others would have a black marking on the chin and there were some other differences. After I nailed it down to the three birds, I asked the Google image search and thought, yeah, this should definitely … Continue reading Beautiful Forest Bird

Blurry Flying Gray Heron Photo

Dennis

Here is yet another photo that I shot during my time in Reinfeld. I am back in Lübeck for a while, and I do already miss the morning hikes through the nature with all the birds, but it’s now more important to be close to the hospital. Talking about the photo in this post, I tried to take a picture when I saw this flying gray heron, and the result is not too bad, but sadly too blurry as I had to crop a lot. Anyway, the subject is still recognizable, which is why I like the photo anyhow. Continue reading Blurry Flying Gray Heron Photo

Eurasian Blue Tit On A Tree

Dennis

I thought I share a photo of the Eurasian Blue Tit bird again. I shot the winter sometime during the winter. I have no idea why I shot the photo at 1/2000 of a second, maybe because I was outside to take photos of flying birds? But even then the camera setting would have been too fast. I am unhappy with the camera settings that I saw in the metadata and I wish I would have used other settings. The photo is shot at 300mm and I cropped the image to get even closer. I like the composition that I … Continue reading Eurasian Blue Tit On A Tree

Female House Sparrow On The Gutter

Dennis

We enjoyed our barbecue on the terrace some days ago when I noticed a sparrow on the gutter, and after researching I think that it was a female house sparrow. My camera was inside and I was sure the bird would fly away if I would stand up, but I did it anyway and I was right, the bird flew away. I hoped that the bird would come back and it happened. The bird was probably building a nest in the gutter or near the gutter. I was happy that I had a few more chances to take the photo … Continue reading Female House Sparrow On The Gutter
