The great grey owl (Strix nebulosa) is found throughout Northern Europe, Northern Asia and a significant proportion of North America. They are quite large birds, rivalling the Eurasian Eagle Owl in size. The great grey owl has a large, rounded head and yellow eyes, with light underparts mottled with darker grey feathers. Their wings and back are darker grey with lighter bars.
The great grey owl has a large "facial disk." The facial disk is a concave circle of feathers around the eyes of the bird. It helps to collect sound waves and direct them toward the owl's ears, helping the owl to locate its prey by sound. The great grey owl has the largest facial disk of any bird of prey.
Their diet consists mainly of small mammals and their preferred prey is voles, however they will also eat gophers, weasels, squirrels, rabbits, rats and mice. They nest in dense coniferous forests in most of the northern hemisphere.
The female will lay between two to six eggs at one- to two-day intervals. The female does all of the incubation, which starts when the first egg is laid. After four to six weeks the chicks hatch. The male provides all the food for the young, which is torn into smaller pieces by the female. When food is scarce the female great grey owl will often starve herself in order to feed her chicks, and may lose up to a third of her body weight. The chicks will leave the nest after approximately a month and can fly well after two months. The young stay close to home and are cared for by the female for some time after leaving the nest.
Stonechats are robin sized birds. Males have striking black heads with white around the side of their neck, orange-red breasts and a mottled brown back. Females lack the male's black head, but have brown backs and an orange tinge to their chests. Birds are frequently seen flicking their wings while perched, often doing so on the tops of low bushes. As its name suggests, birds utter a sharp loud call that sound like two stones being tapped together. They breed in western and southern parts of the UK, but disperse more widely in winter. What they eat: Invertebrates, seeds and fruit (e.g. blackberries).

The wren is a tiny brown bird, although it is heavier and not as slim as the even smaller goldcrest. It is dumpy, almost rounded, with a fine bill, quite long legs and toes, very short round wings and a short, narrow tail which is sometimes cocked up vertically. For such a small bird it has a remarkably loud voice.
It is the most common UK breeding bird, although it suffers declines during prolonged, severely cold winters. What they eat:
Insects and spiders (Courtesy RSPB).

Many thanks to everyone for your visits, comments and faves! Very much appreciated!
I was trying to capture small song birds but this little Robin was quite the bully seeing of tits, finches and the like. Taken from about 3 metres using a Sony A7Riv and a 200-600 lens in poor light at ISO 640 the second gain sweet spot.
È il simbolo di Caorle ed è uno dei pochi campanili cilindrici originali rimasti. Il nostro risale all’XI secolo, è alto 48 metri e pende leggermente verso est.
Some places and some songs just go well together:
Maybe the season /
The colors change in the valley skies /
Dear God, I've sealed my fate /
Running through Hell, Heaven can wait /
Long road to ruin there in your eyes /
Under the cold streetlights /
No tomorrow, no dead end in sight - foo fighters

Das letzte Motiv zum Ende meines Urlaubes war das Bürogebäude "Dockland", was mit seiner außergewöhnlichen Bauform wohl sicher zu den "modernen Sehenswürdigkeiten" gehört.
Hier eine passende Kameraperspektive zu finden, die harmonisch in meine Bilderreihe passt war gar nicht so einfach. Die klassische Seitenansicht mit dem UWW fand ich hierfür unpassend...
Meine nächsten Ziele sind die Hafenkräne und die Elbphilharmonie. Ob die Köhlbrandbrücke ganz klassisch vom Fähranleger auch noch kommt, muss ich mal sehen.
Kennt ihr sonst noch bessere Spots für die Brücke? Habt ihr Vorschläge für weitere Motive?
Es kann jetzt jedenfalls erst einmal wieder etwas dauern bis neue Bilder kommen, aber es soll ja auch ein Projekt für das ganze Jahr sein... ☺️
