We're still coated with ice and now 8 inches of snow, as well. A most beautiful way to end the year. This Red Twig Dogwood entirely coated in sparkling ice.
Concluding my look back over the last year.
From the end of November, the best birds were in East Sussex, although it took two separate visits to West Rise marsh to capture both the Long-tailed Duck and Slavonian Grebe (present from 9th November and 18th November respectively). But to conclude my review of the year, one more special bird (which in any other year could easily have been the Bird of the Year) and another fabulously confiding bird, this Desert Wheatear at Pevensey Bay from 28th November to 9 December.
What an incredible series of fabulous subjects. I only hope 2017 offers more of the same. So, wherever you are, I would like to wish you all a very happy new year.
Late summer and there were a lot of migrants in Sussex, the early star being this fabulous Wryneck which stayed at Beachy Head for 3 weeks from 18 August. I really love the detail in their plumage.
A Spotted Flycatcher also at Beachy Head on the same day was similarly cooperative. Further along the South Downs the following day I found a field full of migrants which included redstart, whinchat and wheatear , all relatively uncommon birds in Sussex.

To clip or not? I decided on clip,
Under exposure was not acceptable,

God bless old gear because it works.
Paradisea liliastrum (Trichterlilie), "Auf der Mussen", Lesachtal, Kärnten, Austria. An alpine meadow full of flowers not only with orchids is a real joy for nature lovers. These lilies are very rare in Austria and only occur in this region.

Time, such a precious commodity... I am so glad we have managed a short ride out of the city the other day. I wanted to capture some of the fall colors before all the leaves are knocked off the trees by the wind. It was a cool, but lovely evening. The light was great as well, so I got in a few shots. Hope you enjoy! Happy Friday, guys!
When the clouds are flying so fast the shadows race across the landscape creating highlights and shadows moving so fast.
I do not do "lists" but thought in spite of lockdown's & a few health problems, I had a good bird year. So i counted up & found I had photographed 132 bird species. Had a good start to the year & garden lockdown was better than expected. My highlight has to be this Lammergeier. Who could have expected a bird of the high mountains to be in a flat Fenland field. Here it is digesting some road kill it had recently eaten in the field.
Macro Monday's and the theme of "Lids".
I left it a bit late to find my subject but while in a supermarket on this Monday morning I found these mini highlighter pens.
So when I finally got home I placed them on a white board and backlit by the bedroom window. I focused the scene to 3 inches on the longest side and set up the lids and also the pens. I then rotated the board so there was a diagonal across the scene and focus was on the lids.
The shape of these trees in the park caught my eye and the highlights of the white clumps of snow on the branches made them stand out even more.
Entrance to Las Rosas Cemetery in Puerto Varas... too bad I always find it closed! One way to get in only.

Ein abendliches Highlight auf der des Öfteren doch recht eintönigen Filsbahn ist zweifelsfrei der EC 112 (Klagenfurt Hbf - Frankfurt (Main) Hbf), welcher ab Salzburg im Taurus-Sandwich verkehrt und mit seinem österreichischen Wagenpark durchaus etwas her macht.
Immer wieder kommt dabei auch der ein oder andere Werbe-Taurus zum Zug, was im Voraus freundlicherweise sogar von den Österreichischen Bundesbahnen (ÖBB) im Internet öffentlich angekündigt wird - bei der Deutschen Bahn wohl leider unmöglich.
Für den 16. März 2015 kündigten die ÖBB die 1116 141 mit Siemens-Werbung vor jenem Zug an, was mehrere Fotografen auf die Nassachtalbrücke nahe Uhingen pilgern ließ.
I already know this will be one of my highlights of the year. What a perfect sunrise was this last week.

In the Altmühltal Nature Park, the highlight of Golden October has been reached and the trees show themselves in the most beautiful colours. It's a pity that it will only last a few days.
Im Naturpark Altmühltal ist der Höhepunkt des Goldenen Oktobers erreicht und die Bäume zeigen sich in den schönsten Farben. Schade, das es nur ein paar Tage anhalten wird.
