In der Oranienbaumer Heide kann man laut #reddit Wiedehopfe (Upupa epops, 🇬🇧 Hoopoe, 🇵🇱 dudek) sehen. Das ist nicht weit von mir. Ich habe den Ort in Google Maps auf gut Glück markiert und auf geht's. Als ich dort ankam, hörte ich diesen unverwechselbaren Gesang. Wegen der Entfernung und der Lichtverhältnisse sind die Fotos nicht grandios, aber ich bin trotzdem unglaublich glücklich!
The number 1 rule of photography is to capture the things that give you joy. I went to the lake tonight, I missed the best light and thought I wouldn't get anything good. But it was warm, and peaceful and as the sun sank the water turned pink and the pied stilts came across the shore right in front of me and I thought it was beautiful so I took some photos of them and their reflections. I've had to apply some serious de-noising as these photos were taken in the almost dark and I've also taken the liberty of removing some little black splodges that were marring the mirror perfect water. I think these give a good FEEL of the serenity of the moment, although obviously I can't capture the whole experience of sunset outdoors on an unseasonably warm Autumn night. #birds #birdphotography
A swan on what looks like a collision course – taken as I was standing, apparently in a good spot for flying over, on a hill next to the lake it took off from. It was gaining altitude faster than it was closing the distance, so this didn't feel quite as perilous as it might appear!
