So happy !!
This time I could approach and get a close up on a blackbird
So happy because I can barely approach them, but cold time was helpful.
Please zoom in for more details (6K photo)
Tres content !!
Cette fois j'ai pu m'approcher et faire un gros plan sur un merle
C'est un oiseau que j'ai vraiment du mal à prendre en photo, mais les températures basses m'ont aidé
Veuillez zoomer pour plus de détails (photo 6K)

Todo un sendero de luz
y algunos que otros colores
te abren la soledad
de un paseo que con calma
bien merece disfrutar.
Todo es cuestión de buscar
esa hora en que las ninfas
comienzan a aparecer
para buscar su lugar
en la fuente que les toca.
Y el caminante tranquilo,
con paso calmo y sereno,
va descubriendo contento
cómo se viste el jardín
de luces y de colores.
Y toda la algarabía
es un pájaro que canta
esa dulce melodía
para la ninfa galana.
Un sendero y un paseo
que la luz alegre toca
y te hace sentir contento
paseando la soledad
de un jardín tan estupendo.

El problema es que cuando uno está explicando algo al público o a un alumno, hay la tendencia a plantear la situación de la siguiente manera “yo tengo la clave, tú no la tienes. Ahora te la revelo, tú la apuntas, te la llevas a casa; y ya hemos resuelto nuestra relación”. Todos quedamos contentos. Esto no es así. Pensemos, por ejemplo, en el campo de la filosofía –en otros campos, en materias mucho más concretas y perfiladas, probablemente, uno puede aprender realmente cosas cerradas. Los filósofos, desde Kant, sabemos que sólo podemos enseñar a filosofar. No se puede enseñar filosofía en el sentido de decir: “tome, llévese este libro, apréndaselo de memoria, vuelva mañana y será filósofo”. Se puede enseñar a filosofar diciendo: “miren cómo lo hago yo y háganlo ustedes”.

THE STORY BEHIND THE PHOTO: MY LONG AND ARDUOUS JOURNEY TO BIRD PHOTOGRAPHY
If you've set yourself the challenge of exclusively shooting the wildlife in your own back yard, you might find - as I did - that bird photography is really, really hard.
It's not that reptiles are easy to photograph either, mind - but at least the ones in my garden stay (for the most part) on the ground, and one can learn how to carefully approach them with a camera. They're also clearly egoists, which from a photographer's point of view is is a great character trait: if a lizard detects a human in its vicinity, it's only interested in saving its own skin, and it won't alarm its buddies.
But birds... oh man. Over the years, my feathered friends and I have developed a lovely routine that now defines our peaceful co-existence. As soon as I as much as open a window (let alone the door), I'm instantly greeted by an eruption of panicky fluttering and hysterical shouts from my garden: "SAVE YOUR WOMEN AND CHILDREN AND FLY FOR YOUR LIVES: THE HAIRLESS, PINK MONSTER IS COMING!!! (Yes, I speak bird, and I know that this is exactly what they are shouting 😉).
Needless to say, with the exception of the redstart I already showed here, all my efforts to get the kind of detailed shots I usually strive for with my nature photography ended in complete failure and utter disillusionment. I was ready to give up on stalking the winged misanthropes in my garden altogether, but then winter came - and changed everything.
One day this past January I observed my neighbor Signora P - a kind, elderly Italian lady - putting something on the low garden wall in front of my house. At first I thought she was just putting some treat there for her cat Romeo; the young tom patrols that wall constantly (it's his favorite spot in the garden, and during the warmer months he usually lurks in the thick foliage next to it to prey on lizards).
But once I detected a lot of movement on that wall through my window, I understood she had put a little pile of bread crumbs there; she was feeding the birds who soon arrived in flocks. This was certainly well-intended on my neighbor's part, but her noble action came with a catch, and I'm afraid quite literally.
When I took a stroll through my garden the next day I discovered a suspicious amount of feathers on the ground next to the wall. Romeo had apparently switched from his low-calorie summer diet (lizard) to more energy-rich meals consisting of "fowl" (it was winter after all, so from a nutritionist's point of view this made sense).
I would find fresh traces of Romeo's victims (mostly feathers, but also the odd wing) in my garden over the following days; so my first intuition that my neighbor was feeding her cat hadn't been that far off after all, as Romeo was now clearly being "served" fresh birds on a daily basis. And although the hungry visitors seemed to be aware of the danger and became slightly more prudent, they just couldn't resist the tasty snacks Signora P put on that wall - and neither could Romeo.
It was obvious that I had to act, but talking to my neighbor - who is as stubborn as she is kind - would have been futile, I knew that much. I pondered the matter long and hard - until a light bulb went off in my head. The idea was genius. If successful, what I had in mind would not only increase the birds' chances of surviving Romeo's appetite, but also greatly benefit my own photographic endeavors.
I started to enact my master plan the very next day by buying a giant bag of bird feed (consisting mainly of sunflower seeds) from the store. Then I dragged a huge piece of a tree trunk (approx. 120 cm in height) that we normally chop firewood on from the shed out into the garden and emptied almost half of the bag's content on top of it. Signora P's buffet for birds (and cats) was about to get some serious competition 😊.
My reasoning was as follows: not only would the birds be lured away from the fatally low garden wall to a place where they were safe from the cat - there was nothing around that tree trunk that provided cover for a predator, and the birds had a nice 360° view around it at all times - but I was also able to photograph them while hiding in the shed.
However, in order for my plan to work there was one little extra measure I had to take, and it was one that risked lowering my own life expectancy considerably once the owner of the property - my mom - discovered it. You see, our shed is completely windowless, so if I wanted to use it as a blind, I had no choice but to cut a hole into one of its wooden walls... which I promptly did (I figured all's fair in love - and photography 😉).
Granted, I have absolutely zero carpentering skills, and it showed. That hole was an ugly mess: the shed's wall seemed to have had an encounter with Jack Nicholson's ax-wielding lunatic character from the film 'The Shining'. Needless to say, I was incredibly proud of my work (I mean, come on: there now was a hole where before there wasn't a hole, and it was big enough for the lens of my camera to peek through, so it was mission accomplished as far as I was concerned).
Now all I had to do was wait for the birds to discover the tree trunk. In the meantime I started to mentally prepare myself for the inevitable confrontation with my mom and go through possible explanations for that splintering hole in the wall (it was either gonna be a rabid woodpecker attack or an emergency rescue mission with a feeding tube for a little kid that had accidentally locked himself inside the shed - both seemed valid options, though I slightly preferred the locked-in kid due to the involved drama and heroism 😉).
A whole day went by, and not a single bird visited the sunflower seeds. I had expected that it might take a few hours until the first of the ever curious great tits or blue tits would show up, but given how tiny my garden is, an entire day seemed excessive. Then another day came and went: the birds kept flocking to the bread crumbs on the wall, and my tree trunk kept collecting dust. To add injury to insult, a few fresh feathers on the ground were proof that Romeo was still feasting.
It was incredibly frustrating: I provided my winged guests with a much better view - plus a higher chance of surviving the cuisine - than Signora P's place; I risked (almost) certain death at the hands of my own mother (OK, the act of vandalism on the shed I had committed for my own benefit, but still), yet the birds kept ignoring me.
Then, after three days, just before sunset, I spotted a single blue tit on the tree trunk picking away at the sunflower seeds.
When I got up the next morning I immediately realized that the loud noise that accompanies each and every tit activity had shifted from the wall to the shed. At last the dam had broken: there was a flurry of movement around the tree trunk, and I counted at least 5 different species of birds feasting on the sunflower seeds.
From day 4 onward my plan worked beautifully: the birds now indeed mostly ignored Romeo's "snack wall" and kept to the tree trunk. And yes, I was able to play peeping tom from behind the shed's wall and photograph them!! 😊
Thus, dear readers, I finally managed to produce some acceptable bird photos, and I had even saved my feathered friends from a deadly foe in the process. All through winter and spring I took advantage of my new bird hide, and in late May I started mixing some cherries with the sunflower seeds. The idea was to attract a Eurasian jay (Garrulus glandarius), and as you can see, it worked!
It took me almost three weeks and more than a few tricks to capture that clever fella, but given how long I've been rambling here already, that's a story for another day. As for my mom, she still doesn't know about the hole in the wall, so please don't snitch! 😉.
I hope you like the photo and wish you all a wonderful weekend! Many greetings from Switzerland, and as always: let me know what you think in the comments 🙏 😊 ❤!
P.S. if anyone has their own funny tale about the obstacles we photographers are prepared to overcome for a desired photo, please write it in the comments: I love such stories 😊
Beacon Fell is a fell in the civil parish of Goosnargh in Lancashire, England. The high ground, which rises to 266 m (873 ft), has been a country park since 1970. It is situated within the south westerly part of the Forest of Bowland, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Wikipedia
Le même nid qui nous avait donné Lucky l'an dernier nous offre cette année trois buses juvéniles. Deux d'entre elles semblent en pleine forme et à quelques heures de leur premier vol. La troisième semble moins développée ou plus chétive. Nous avons pu remarquer qu'elle est toujours la dernière à table. Les deux buses les plus âgées ne semblent pas vouloir la laisser manger à moins d'être rassasiées elle-même. Les nourrissages peuvent prendre près d'une heure. Pendant ce temps, la plus chétive passe son temps à crier de faim. Nous avons pu constater qu'elle doit se contenter des restes. Heureusement pour elle, il en y en avait lors de notre observation du 21 juillet.
Aujourd'hui une des deux buses ainées qui semblent vouloir s'amuser avec une branche. Demain la plus chétive.
A juvenile playing with a branch. Perhaps thinking that one day she will be breaking some off to build a nest...

Sea lions are pinnipeds characterized by external ear flaps, long foreflippers, the ability to walk on all fours, short and thick hair, and a big chest and belly. Together with the fur seals, they make up the family Otariidae, eared seals. The sea lions have six extant and one extinct species (the Japanese sea lion) in five genera. Their range extends from the subarctic to tropical waters of the global ocean in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, with the notable exception of the northern Atlantic Ocean.
Sea lions have an average lifespan of 20–30 years. A male California sea lion weighs on average about 300 kg (660 lb) and is about 2.4 m (8 ft) long, while the female sea lion weighs 100 kg (220 lb) and is 1.8 m (6 ft) long. The largest sea lions are Steller's sea lions, which can weigh 1,000 kg (2,200 lb) and grow to a length of 3.0 m (10 ft). Sea lions consume large quantities of food at a time and are known to eat about 5–8% of their body weight (about 6.8–15.9 kg (15–35 lb)) at a single feeding. Sea lions can move around 16 knots (30 km/h; 18 mph) in water and at their fastest they can reach a speed of about 30 knots (56 km/h; 35 mph). Three species, the Australian sea lion, the Galápagos sea lion and the New Zealand sea lion, are listed as endangered

LA VIE EN ROSE by LAURA & ANTON
THE CIRCLE OF YOUR ARMS
Remember that evening way back in another age and place
When Paris in the Latin quarter was just the place to be
You played this song on your violin and I sang and played guitar
the golden hour when the night absorbs the day
came streaming through the window and fell upon my hair
the warmth like tender hands upon my skin
felt so sweet and love found it's way into my heart
I looked to you and shyly you looked away
and deep inside I felt a shift within my soul
felt the magnetism as your soul met mine
the appartement that we rented
from Madame et Monsieur Henri Renard
so steamy hot in Summer yet set within a stone courtyard
we flung the shuttered windows open and felt the cool night air
a ladder stood against the wall; not tall enough to reach our lair
our imagination carried us to other worlds; a place among the stars
as we lay there in the darkness and looked up to the sky so far
a wedding in the countryside; I'd wear sunflowers in my hair
you'd carry me across the threshold of our cottage that we'd share
we'd eat a simple meal of bread and cheese,
washed down with lilac wine
and watch each other tenderly with smiling eyes that shine
with tears of joy that sometimes spilled on to our cheeks
and mingled with each others as you danced me on your feet
Remember that first waltz you taught me
when I was only then fourteen
so many other dances since but I never forgot that one
I giggled like the child I was; we fell about until
the dress for dinner gong resounded in our ears
and echoed in the hall
an hour to dress for dinner but we didn't need that long
so we continued our clumsy dancing until the second gong
childish dreams expanded into our grown up world
and time that once pulled us far apart
at last brought me back to the circle of your arms.

“I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness...
The dumbing down of America is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance”
