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

With the onset of night, the hunting season of the Eurasian eagle-owl begins, exposed lookout perches are preferred

The Smew feeds mainly on small fish in winter, but on the North Sea coast I could observe that many young shore crabs are preyed on - (Photo Smew females foraging on a river)

With its long beak, the White Stork can also clean hard-to-reach plumage areas

Already in winter Mallards are looking for a partner for the coming breeding season, here a pair has been found

Here you can see the newest bird pictures. Also this year new bird species are added again and again. Among other things, I finally managed to take pictures of the Black Redstart. Let us see what else there is to photograph this year.

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.

Mammal photos - The newest pics from mammels, 04 Sep 2021

A pack of Grey Wolves, two adults with seven pups on the way to the rendezvous place

Wolf paw print in the sand at the border of a large heath in Denmark

When observing the behavior European Hares, you will notice certain recurring behavioral patterns, after extensive grazing, they often stand on their feet and stretch their bodies

The low camera position provides a soft frame around the European Hare

A this years European Hare grazes relaxed in front of the photographer sitting in the car, in regular intervals it observes attentively the surroundings

The ears of the European Hare, also called spoons, can be turned separately in different directions, so friend and foe can be identified and distinguished in time

Some years ago I had my first encounter with a Raccoon Dog on a forest path in the dusk in Lusatia. Years later followed the second encounter with a young animal on a pond bank in my homeland. Not 2 meters apart we observed each other, then he disappeared in the direction from which he had come. The third observation was again in Lusatia at noon. In the past year I observed with the flashlight on night walks regularly Raccoon Dogs in the Lusatia, whereby an encounter will remain probably eternally in memory, particularly since I could film the meeting with my cell phone. Finally, our Border Collie July and the Raccoon Dog stood on 2 meters opposite each other. Then July could not stand it any longer and jump forward. The Tanuki hissed frightened and moved back only reluctantly. Maybe I will show the video after the rebuilding of the homepage. And in this year then the surprising encounter with the Tanuki at a badgers den in almost complete darkness. Two weeks later the second encounter with photo success and so I got my first photos of the raccoon dog....big luck.

Roe Deer photos - Our least deer species is one of my favorite photo subjects, 02 Sep 2021

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

The Roebuck cannot identify the photographer lying on the ground and keeps looking in his direction

Curiously the Roebuck approaches, at the end the caution wins and he disappears in the surroundings

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

A Roebuck moves through the spring forest and eats the fresh green of European Beeches

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.
