I did not expect at all to meet this little dude ...
At first, I had absolutely no idea what it was, I did not know that crane nestlings were reddish like that and it was more or less swimming on the water like a duck.
I should have known though, as 2 minutes before I was secretly trying to approach a pair of common cranes in the swamp, that eventually flew away. I had never thought about where Common cranes are nesting, I was assuming it was way more in the north of Europe.
Anyway after taking a shot, I did not stay much longer to avoid creating too much disturbance :(
Invasion of Song trushes hailing the return of spring in Berlin ... dozens of them are wandering on Baumschulenweg cemetery lawns
Encounter with a fox at dusk, April 2023, in Neukölln, Berlin, in a residential area around 1 kilometer south of the S-Bahn Ring.
After a short stop for marking territory, this male climbed over a fence an disappeared in a private garden. Really not scared, I could take a few shots from a distance of around fifteen meters.
Now I would like to find the burrow !!
Les hiboux des marais furent présents dès septembre sur le site. Il semble à ce jour qu'ils soient repartis vers leurs sites de nidifications. Celui ci est le dernier que nous ayons vus, posé à environ 40 mètres pendant un très long moment avant du s'envoler en quête de son repas.
Wild owl on a cypress tree, Berlin, Neukolln.
The european population of long-eared owls is around one million individuals; which makes this specie one of the most common owls in Europe.
On a sunny morning, at 7AM, on the roadside .. if I had not been in a car, it would have disappeared in one second ..
The European perch is the favorite meal of the Great crested grebe. Its spiny dorsal fin is of not help against the merciless predator ...
Great crested grebes swallow around 200 grams of fish a day.
Still on the "Most Wanted" list of a lot of British Birders, especially if it was on mainland Great Britain and not on some far flung Scottish island. I have been fortunate to add this Swedish bird to the Dutch bird I photographed several years ago. Like the Dutch bird, this too has over wintered in a garden in a residential district.
Arrivés en fin de matinée sous la pluie, nous avons failli faire demi-tour. Le beau temps est revenu et surprise, il est un peu plus de 13 h 00, les Hibous des marais commencent à sortir chasser.
Nous en compterons 14, fait tout à fait exceptionnel. Le ballet aérien fut magnifique, magique, pendant un peu plus d'une heure.
