Maybe this is the sweetest photo I took this year so far

#Grayseal

White stork (Ciconia ciconia, Weißstorch, bocian biały).

Unfortunately, the #WhiteTailedEagle's nest is quite a distance away, so yesterday I used the 1.4 extender for the first time and it actually helps to capture the birds better. The air turbulence was kept to a minimum, but there wasn't much light – after all, I'm shooting at f/11.

Next time, I'll try using the 2x converter + monopod. The f/16 aperture will be a challenge.

#WhiteTailesEagles singing /duett

I wondered why I had met this beautiful common scoter drake on the beach for a few days in a row. Normally they swim in larger groups on the seeside until they migrate back to their breeding grounds. You usually don't get this close to them here: it seems as if he has lost some of his tail feathers. Is that why he is still here and has not flown home?

Wryneck (Jynx torquilla, Wendehals, krętogłów).

It is like watching the paint dry: #Cormorant

Wippwipp!

#Wagtail

The Green Woodpecker (Picus viridis, Grünspecht, dzięcioł zielony) can often be seen in the morning at this time of year, making loud calls from the treetops.

Love is in the air!
