Eurasian Magpie

Dennis

Here is a photo that I shot during my time in Reinfeld. You can see an Eurasian magpie (Pica pica), also known as common magpie according to Wikipedia. I shot the bird through the window glass, as I was standing in the living room. We tricked the bird a little bit, because my uncle and me were aware of the magpie nests on the other street side, and we had this glorious idea to throw some pieces of toast bread on the car port roof. This worked well, because we went back inside and I did set up my camera … Continue reading Eurasian Magpie

Great Black Cormorant

Dennis

Here is a photo that I shot yesterday on my hike through the Schellbruch Area. It’s a great black cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo) also known as great cormorant, black cormorant, large cormorant and black shag. It’s quite easy to find them here in and around Lübeck close to the Baltic Sea. I found them in and around several towns and villages in our federal state Schleswig-Holstein. If there is water, there is a good chance you will find cormorants. They like to be close to the sea, or you find them at rivers or even at the ponds in the city. … Continue reading Great Black Cormorant

African Sacred Ibis In Germany

Dennis

Above you can see a photo of a bird that I found during my hike through the Schellbruch Area in Lübeck. I saw five of them and some other hikers asked me if I would know what kind of bird it would be, when they saw me with my camera. And to be honest, I had absolutely no idea, and even at home the bird gave me headache because it was super hard to research the bird name, but I do now know what kind of bird it is. The problem however was that this is not a native bird … Continue reading African Sacred Ibis In Germany

White-Tailed Eagle Far Above Me

Dennis

Today I had a bit of luck again and I found an eagle. I started my hike at the Schellbruch Area, and then I saw the White-tailed eagle far above me that you can see in the photo of this post. I do already have a lot of experience to spot them in the heaven as I saw them many times. The big problem is that they often fly at a high altitude, but they fly or glide very slow. So, it’s easy to find out if it’s the White-tailed eagle, but it’s pretty difficult to take the photo because … Continue reading White-Tailed Eagle Far Above Me

Beautiful Herring Gull

Dennis

In Lübeck close to the Trave River, I usually find lots of Herring Gulls. While I prefer to find less common birds, it’s not always possible, especially not in the city or in the districts here. However, I know some places here where I can find other birds, like the Schellbruch for example, but I can not always be there. It doesn’t matter a lot to me, because I like common photo subjects as well, and this included gulls, ducks, or blackbirds. Check out my other bird photos if you like to see different ones.

Cute Ducklings

Dennis

I do have less time now to go out and take new photos, but as usual when this is the case, I do still have enough photos that I shot but that I didn’t upload yet. Today I want to show you a photo of some cute ducklings that I found around two weeks ago or so. I was somewhere outside of Lübeck and noticed a strange sound near a very small pond, and it took me a while but then I noticed I found these cute ducklings that made the sound. They are more than cute, aren’t they? Continue reading Cute Ducklings
