If somebody sees something on his raids which is impressive and raised, he pauses in a devout silence for a moment. For him it isn't necessary to hallow one of seven days because for him every day is sacred.

Mammal photos - The newest pics from mammels, 06 Jun 2023

The photography of the Harbour porpoise is very difficult, as they usually only appear for 1 - 2 seconds, after which they reappear in another place and you never know where it is

Many hazelnuts are carried away by the Red squirrel and buried in selected places on the forest floor

The best chances to photograph the Harbour porpoise are when they start hunting in a very small radius, then they appear again and again in an easily surveyable area

The tufted ears of the Red squirrel clearly show that the wind has changed and is now blowing from the north

A hazelnut disappears in the mouth of the Red squirrel, I could never observe that several nuts were taken up

In heavy swells, the photography of the Harbour porpoise is almost impossible, because you can hardly see the small whales between the waves

Here are the latest images from the realm of mammals.

Best wishes Helge

Bird photos - New pictures from our flying friends, 19 Apr 2023

A Marsh tit searches for food among a polypore called Turkeytail

After several decades, I finally photographed the smallest songbird in Europe, the Goldcrest

The European robin is one of a few songbird species whose song can also be heard frequently in winter

Marsh tits, like all tit species, are real climbing acrobats, it is always fun to watch, but very difficult to capture photographically - (Photo Marsh tit at the feeding place)

Marsh tits, due to their plain plumage, are one of the less conspicuous species at the wintry feeding place

Here you can see the newest bird pictures.

Roe Deer photos - Our least deer species is one of my favorite photo subjects, 23 Feb 2023

An old Roe deer doe moves to the safe area for game in front of my hiding place

An old acquaintance, already 5 days before I was able to photograph the Roebuck in this part of the district

In the late afternoon a male fawn of Roe deer walks to a harvested stubble field

Despite good camouflage, the Roe deer doe notices the small change

The last photo of the Roebuck, then he goes into the protective cover and while he slowly moves away he barks extensively

Where the hunters do not hunt the animals day and night and where the whole forest is not filled with high seats, the game can also be observed well during the day, like this Roe deer doe

The Roe Deer photography is one of my favorites. At first pics from the behaviour and otherwise many photos from different bucks are my target, too.

Photos from amphibians, reptils, insects and other species - News, 27 Sep 2022

Due to a lack of suitable motifs and too much sunshine, I started photographing butterflies on this afternoon, here is a picture of the female Meadow Brown

The Small Skipper is often observed in northern Germany

The Creeping thistle is an important food plant not only for the Meadow Brown shown here - (Photo Meadow Brown female)

Fallow Deer rut 2017-2021, 14 Aug 2022

This Fallow Deer buck has rested for several hours in an bracken thicket and moves to the rutting ground in the evening

A Fallow Deer buck with broken antler runs directly towards me and I hope that he changes direction in time, at the end he takes a game path only 5 m away and moves to the rutting place

Another Fallow Deer buck appears in front of my hide

Although the Fallow Deer doe has already passed me, it turns back and looks again towards my hide

Only the soft sound of the camera trigger attracts the interest of the white Fallow Deer doe from time to time

Animated by the hustle and bustle of the Fallow Deer bucks on the rutting ground, this male runs roaring to his opponents

Scenery photographs from Germany - New pictures from german nature landscapes, 11 Jan 2022

Clearly visible is the heavily frequented deer crossing between the Rough Horsetail

The last autumnal leaves of the Common Beeches form a beautiful color contrast to the brown and green tones of late fall, due to the wetness the Athelia Lichen thrives on the bark of the beech trunks

A natural mixed deciduous forest in northern Germany, especially valuable is the area-wide occurrence of Rough Horsetail

A natural mixed deciduous forest in Northern Germany, disturbing is the massed dieback of old rowan trees, pleasing is the area-wide occurrence of Rough Horsetail

There are a few new landscape pictures and I hope that I can work on the still unprocessed images in the coming weeks.

Red Deer rut 2021, 04 Nov 2021

The first photo of a Red stag in my new Red Deer area, here are atmospheric pictures possible

A Red Deer stag with beautiful dark and evenly shaped antlers carefully enters the aisle and I am amazed at the large number of different stags that appear in front of my camera that day

After a cold but comfortable night in the car a fantastic rut morning awaits me and if that was not enough, a roaring Red stag stands in the first morning light with his small herd on a heath in the forest

Even if this day was not very successful from the photographic point of view this encounter with an impressive Red stag stays unforgettable

A Red Deer stag with broken antler migrates to a large heath area in the early evening

Two Red stags look at a roaring stag, a short time later they move in his direction

The first 14 days of the Red Deer rut 2021 were not really crowned with success. At the end, I had only 6 usable images. And the last of this pictures was taken at the end, on the return trip, in a previously unknown area. Discovered of course as almost always, by the research of my woman. A few days later, I visited the NEW area again, spent the next 5 nights in the car and was at the end very satisfied. The Red Deer are very shy, but the area itself offers very good possibilities. Of course, the photo opportunities are rare, but thanks to the beautiful landscape and the otherwise exciting location, there is a special predator here, it can always come to exciting encounters. Here I was certainly not the last time and probably I will even this year at least once more look over.
