Wildlife Photography from my cosy warm Kitchen

Normally people (need to) go out into nature to take wildlife pictures. While freezing their asses off. At least in the winter. But I had the chance to take a picture of this bird (magpie?) through the window of my cosy warm kitchen. Which feels like cheating somehow. Hahaha. But actually I just wanted take a picture of these chaotic patterns of all the branches and twigs of the trees mixed with the falling snow. And in the process of taking it the bird showed up for about a minute before it flew away again. And even though the scene without the bird looks fine enough to me, it of course creates a nice resting point in all this beautiful chaos. The window frame of the right zoomed in (detail) version of the pic of course is not real and just copied from the original left pic. But like I’ve said, since having taken this kind of picture from my home feels like cheating somehow, I think it fits anyway. It almost feels like watching a small sequence of a nature documentary on TV. And the window frame is like the frame of a TV showing this sequence just getting zoomed in…
