On Saturday I went to the nature reserve near the Kugelbake with the D500 and the 500 tele lens. The snow buntings should be back from what I’ve read. And, indeed, 10 birds were in the mudflats in search of food. Of course, the ruddy turnstones were there as well.

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 […]

Eurasian reed warbler
Common linnet

European stonechat
Early this morning in the Duhner Heide. In the best light of the morning sun I was lucky to meet several European stonechat.
White-tailed Eagle
Short trip to the Stintstedter See and actually lucky. A white-tailed eagle circled shortly over the area. The crow did not like this at all and after about 3 minutes the eagle let himself be driven away. A small flock of grey geese landed on the lake shortly afterwards.
