Bird safari
We are more or less ‘housebound’ thanks to the Corona virus … so, we took a walk through the city.
It is now definitely spring because there are starlings singing from almost every tree.:
I usually don’t look at the Mallards because they are typical feral ducks, many of which don’t resemble wild ducks at all.:
Another sign for/of spring are singing Chaffinches, like with the starlings, almost every tree has its own singing Chaffinch right now, however, they are very difficult to photograph because they usually fly away as soon as they spot the camera.:
This is a Goldfinch, it has one of the most beautiful songs of all European birds.:
This little cutie was hopping about as close as only one meter away from us, so I could make at least two quite good pictures.:
Another little photo safari
Today we have been in the Botanical Garden of Jena, some kilometers from home, I wanted to try to ‘catch’ some birds with my camera.
I was able to get a little Robin.:
I also got two Blackbirds, a female and a male.
It is astonishingly warm these days – thanks to global warming.
