Good but not brillant weather for another look at Cuxhaven’s Kugelbake area for some seafowl. Some Ruddy Turnstones around at the jetty. Shots were taken with the D500 and the Nikkor 200-400 (with and without TC-14).

Cuxhaven – Sandpipers and other local seafowl
Brillant weather and very good time for shooting some local seafowl in Cuxhaven near Kugelbake monument. Will be the last time this year.
Eurasian curlew in Cappel-Neufeld
Around 100 birds of this species are around Cappel-Neufeld area. The fillet there allows for nice positioning of tripod with camera. However, no close-ups possible there, so one would need good amount of focal length for some shootings. Used the D500 with the Nikkor 500f4 and TC-14 mounted on the Berlebach Uni-16 with Wimberley WH-200 […]
Sea-fowl on an overcast day
Very bad weather for doing some sea-fowl shots but I wanted to get out and do some. Not a lot to be kept on my disk though.
Cuxhaven – Common terns
I was out to the Kugelbake area to shoot some common terns. Unfortunately the wind direction was from south-east so it was rarely seen from front when the terns flew up from the water after they picked a fish as they mostly get up against the wind. First day I used the D500 with my […]
Cuxhaven – Other local seafowl
Second try with the Nikkor 500f4, this time using the D7200. Was lucky to get some close Oystercatchers as they are normally quite shy. The lens does not perform as great as with the D4, but that’s not a surprise. Some quality trade-off is because of the smaller pixel-pitch of the D7200 but some is […]
Cuxhaven – Sandpipers
Desperately waiting to get a chance to try out the recently bought AF-S 500f4 lens. The weather today morning was nice and 2 hours left before high tide, so I went to Kugelbake and looking for some Sandpipers there. Fortunately not too many people were around and I was lucky to get some good shots. […]
Cuxhaven – Sandpipers
The owls are gone so having at least lot of seafowl left here. Was shortly looking at Kugelbake area and found 2 sandpiper species.
Common Redshank in the salt marsh
Wanted to give the Gitzo a try using the Wimberley WH200. It does work quite nice but has no chance when compared to the Berlebach UNI-16. So, whenever size and weight allows, the UNI-16 is the first choice. A pair of Common Redshank were often up in the air to get the Seagulls away from their […]
Seafowl in Cappel-Neufeld
Early morning quick stop in Cappel-Neufeld for some Oystercatchers. Unfortunately not the promised weather. Nevertheless two shots worth to keep as they show a very calm sea.
