Curious Robin

Dennis

Today was more sunshine, it’s not too dark anymore, but still a little bit cloudy. Anyway, I thought I go out for a short hike and to take some pictures. I saw small birds again, and today they seemed to be a little bit more relaxed. You know, birds like to fly from one branch to another, and that makes it difficult to get a nice photo, but today that was easier. The Robin in the photo of this post for example did let me come close, I was only 2 meters away, and then I used the 300mm of … Continue reading Curious Robin

A Woodpecker In The Fog

Dennis

I’ve been in Lübeck for two days to manage some things. One morning I had a little bit of time and decided to walk through the parks near the Trave River. It was a foggy morning, very beautiful, and at some point on my way, I heard the drumming somewhere in the trees, it was clear there would be a woodpecker somewhere. I find it very hard to take photos of them, I heard them often, but usually they are at the top of the tree and that makes it very difficult. In this case I had a little bit … Continue reading A Woodpecker In The Fog

Eurasian Treecreeper Again

Dennis

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

Dennis

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

Dennis

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

Dennis

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
