For 36 hours a photo friend was in Cuxhaven. A program was quickly put together. Landscape, birds and what else that is somewhat nice and can be done in 1.5 days. On Thursday afternoon for bird photography to Cappel-Neufeld. That was already a mess. Neither at the jetty nor at the NABU tower any activities […]

Today it was almost windless at the Grodener Wettern. Accordingly, there was also more activity there.
Grodener Wettern
This morning drove again to the place named Baumrönne in Cuxhaven to hopefully photograph the reed buntings. It was quite windy, so that not too much was going on. With a few situations I had then but luck.
Reed buntings and a pheasant
Yesterday morning a few reed buntings were cavorting at the tree canopy. Also from yesterday are the pictures of the pheasant and the gray heron at Pastor-Draegert Weg. A rough wire mesh fence was in the way of the pheasant, but this is only a small area in the plumage where the contrasts are a […]
Starlings
Approximately 10000 starlings are currently seen on the Cappel-Neufeld compensation areas and the adjacent dike. From the observation tower a few avocets could also be observed and a meadow pipit was quite busy supporting the breeding.

Snow bunting

Industrial Fox
Early this morning in Groden, a fox was running around on the premises of a company. When he saw me, he had already gone…
Feldberg Lake District – East-shore Hide
After the eagle tour we went to the east bank hide for a few hours. Eagles were rather not to be expected, but even so it was quite productive. Red kites, buzzards and the obligatory magpies came to the bait. Only the ravens, which we had already had here before, didn’t show up. A short […]
