bird hunting gestern habe ich mich auf die Jagd begeben. Nein, nicht mit der Flinte natürlich, nur mit der Kamera bewaffnet.
First on the Old Rhine Lingenfelder, where else should, by my love for his native Palatinate climes.
family Mute Swan (Cygnus olor
) was awake for a few days coming
, the kids and mom makes sure that no one comes too close.
At the second nest in this Altrheinarm is still brooding. Hopefully with success. Last Saturday of the Rhine resulted in good taste water. At the level Maxau a high water mark was exceeded. The nest was deep concern at the water table, both parents were working hard on patching.
Mr. Grey Heron (
Ardea cinerea ) sieht aus, als wollte er fragen: "Was guckst Du?"
Zur Zeit begegnet man hier einem seltenen Gast und rasanten Flugakrobaten, dem Baumfalken
(
Falco subbuteo ) kaum zu verfolgen mit dem Tele, wenn er in ein paar Metern Entfernung am Boot verbei rast
at waters edge at the time of flowering hawthorn (Crataegus
), perhaps smells a little strict, but it is beautifully
headed gulls (Larus ridibundus
) are tirelessly, often narrowly above the water surface
characteristic is the black-brown head, with a very sharp dividing line to the body. The darkness holds until about July. Later, in the simple dress she disappears, then there remain a few black patches around the eyes and ears.
The Egyptian Goose (
Alopochen aegyptiacus floats) for a landing, or rather to splashdown. Both feet forward and head and neck stretched quite far, tiring I tell you.
"touch down"
now dive into the water gently with the rump and wings quite high, so not everything has to be soaking wet, right?
and then calmly sit back, is still sometimes went well.
So schön sieht es aus bei uns am Rhein. Macht das nicht Lust, mal nach Germersheim zu kommen und mit dem Boot bzw.
Elektronachen mitzufahren? Die Damen von der Tourist-Info freuen sich auf Ihren Anruf und ich freue mich, wenn Sie mich als Bootsführer buchen
Herr Stockente zieht gemächlich seine Bahn
und wendet sich beleidigt ab, weil es kein Futter gibt
Wir sind an dem Nachmittag noch über die Rheinbrücke gefahren auf die badische Rheinseite. There I had seen at Phillipsburg recently a stork on its nest. Let's see if the breeding business was successful.
As you can see, three times successfully hatched
why but the little boy to me to greet and waving his backside shows? I will's views on education were not yet back, is perhaps still
