In Sichtweite meines Heimbüros wollen zwei #Elstern zu Eltern werden. Sie schleppen Zweige von weither heran, um sie akribisch korrekt in ihr Kugelnest zu flechten. Gelegentlich paaren sie sich auf dem Nest, begutachten es dann von oben nochmal genau und fliegen wieder neue Zweige sammeln.
My first photo of a Chiffchaff this year. The sound of the woodland changes when these birds return
There is always a Long-tailed tit to be found in the woods
White-throated Dipper, with reflection.
I had extremely low light for this shot so had to push the ISO quite a bit, and remove some detritus from the background in post-processing.
