The day in the hide for the Bonelli’s Eagle was by far the best day of the trip. Just for that it was worth it to go to Extremadura. Here I also managed a panorama picture from three portrait shots. The two never sat together, always at a certain distance. It was often too close […]

Extremadura – Kingfisher
A morning in the Kingfisher hide. In the beginning the birds stayed far away in the back (and dark) part of the area. Later, actually shortly before the time was up, also closer to the hide. At the end the female organized a real show as well… I also managed to catch the fast bird […]
Extremadura – Among vultures
Among vultures… At least that was the plan for one day. Unfortunately no one had told the vultures. The weather was however also very bad and so they let themselves be seen after over seven hours waiting time for approx. 2 minutes.

Redthroat and wadden wagon

Evening visitor
A hedgehog visited our garden several times in the past and looked for the food left over by the birds on the lawn. Today – finally – in better light conditions.
Common Redshank
This morning I went back to Cappel-Neufeld. During the evening shots this week I had seen several Common Redshanks near the jetty. I wanted to have a closer look at that.
