Am frühen Morgen konnte ich einen Revierkampf zweier Wasserrallen beobachten.
Ich war sehr erfreut die äußerst
scheuen Vögel so zu sehen.

Macaws are one of the world’s most colorful birds
A macaw’s unique appearance is akin to a human fingerprint. Ranging in color from the brightest red through to turquoise, yellow and bright indigo, these birds are a sight to be seen. What’s amazing is that each bird’s coloring is distinct to where they live and their vibrant colors actually blend quite well with the Amazon’s rainbow-colored plants and foliage.
2. Macaws fall in love and stay that way
Unlike the vast majority of animals, once macaws find a mate, they tend to stay together for the rest of their lives. They raise their babies together, groom one another and can be seen flying so close to one another it’s as if they are holding hands…we mean, wings.

3. While macaws range drastically, in terms of size, they are the world’s largest parrots
There are more than 350 types of parrots and macaws are the largest of them all. Weighing up to four-ish pounds with lengths of more than three feet, macaws are extremely sizable for birds. Not to mention their gorgeous wings can span up to five feet – or 60 inches.

4. Macaws can live for a long time
By animal kingdom standards, macaws are a long-lived bird. While living in the wild, their average lifespan is around 60 years. However, under the right conditions, they can live up to 100 years. Domesticated macaws often have to be put in their owner’s will because they may outlive them!

5. They can mimic human speech
Not to be confused with talking per say, but macaws are celebrated worldwide for their ability to copy their human counterparts. These amazing creatures can be taught words and encouraged to practice until they can repeat them perfectly. Even wild macaws use very specific clicks to communicate with one another, and they are very advanced in terms of their vocal learning centre.
6. In keeping with their vocals, macaws can be very loud
These social butterflies love to hang out in large flocks. When you get up to 100 macaws together, their loud calls come together to make quite a racket. As they communicate with one another, macaws can be heard throughout the jungle.
7. They call the tropical rainforest home
Although they can be found in woodland and savannah areas, Macaws prefer to live in dense forests such as Mexico’s lush rainforests or the Amazon in Brazil.

8. Their beaks are extremely strong
Used for eating or as a means of force during an altercation, macaws’ beaks are not only distinct in appearance, but they are very strong. Some macaws can even use their beaks to crack coconut shells, which if you have ever tried to do with a hammer, you will understand how impressive that is.

9. Macaws’ tongues are very unlike ours
Not only are macaws’ tongues scaly and dry, but they actually have a bone in them. This bone is used for tapping into fruits, so while it’s a little strange to us, it’s very useful to them.
10. Their wings are not just aesthetically appealing
Macaws put their wings to good use and they can fly up to 15 miles each day in search of food.

Es war mein Highlight im Urlaub als ich den Roten Apollo im Berchtesgaden Land
auf einer Höhe von 1250 Metern entdeckte. Der Falter ist sehr selten und in Deutschland vom Aussterben bedroht.
Leider ist Foto nicht wirklich scharf geworden. Aber mir gefällt es dennoch sehr.

It was the highlight of my vacation when I discovered the Red Apollo in Berchtesgaden Land

Unfortunately, the photo didn't turn out very sharp. But I still like it very much.

Noch eine halbe Stunde vor Sonnenaufgang begrüßten mich unzählige Augen vom Damwild im Duvenstedter Brook . Ich war schon sehr überrascht von der großen Anzahl an Tieren.
Die gesamte Herde schätze ich auf über 50 Tiere.
Half an hour before sunrise, I was greeted by countless eyes of fallow deer in the Duvenstedter Brook. I was very surprised by the large number of animals.
I estimate the entire herd at over 50 animals. (translated with DeepL)

Mallards are large ducks with hefty bodies, rounded heads, and wide, flat bills. Like many “dabbling ducks” the body is long and the tail rides high out of the water, giving a blunt shape. In flight their wings are broad and set back toward the rear.Male Mallards have a dark, iridescent-green head and bright yellow bill. The gray body is sandwiched between a brown breast and black rear. Females and juveniles are mottled brown with orange-and-brown bills. Both sexes have a white-bordered, blue “speculum” patch in the wing.
