I saw this stork last year or the year before on the way to a lake. It is sitting on a house to the right next to a traffic light. The last time the light unfortunately turned green too quickly, which is why I didn't catch it. This time I knew that a stork lived there and I immediately got my camera ready, rolled down the window and took a picture. I'm really glad that I was able to admire this majestic animal again! Thanks to the red light that gave me enough time.

I know I’m posting a lot of kestrels at the moment, but they’re just getting braver towards me

This female placed her up in the tree after a few walkers passed by. I already knew she was less shy and took the chance. I didn’t look at her to find a place without backlighting and luckily she stayed and let me take photos.

: The kestrel (Falco tinnunculus) is the most common falcon in Central Europe. It is relatively familiar to the public because it has also conquered cities and urban areas as its habitat and can often be seen hovering. Body size and wingspan vary greatly depending on the subspecies and individual. In the subspecies Falco tinnunculus tinnunculus found in Europe, males reach an average body length of 34.5 centimeters and females 36 centimeters. The average wingspan of males is just under 75 centimeters and that of the larger females is 76 centimeters. Studies have shown that females can differentiate between eleven different vocalizations and males over nine. The calls can be divided into a few basic patterns, the volume, pitch and frequency of which vary depending on the situation.

I saw this buzzard sitting there in the afternoon when the sun was already down. It really annoyed me because it was just too dark for a good photo. The next day I was even happier when it sat in the same place again while it was looking for mice. Because it wanted to catch them, it looked as if it had been having fun in the snow

It’s always nice to see these animals up close, especially because I’ve never been anywhere near that close to a buzzard in my city

: The common buzzard (Buteo buteo) is a bird of prey from the Accipitridae family and the most common representative of this family in Central Europe. The common buzzard’s distribution area covers all of Europe, with the exception of islands and northern Scandinavia. The common buzzard is a medium-sized, compact bird of prey. It is 51 to 57 centimetres long and has a wingspan of 113 to 128 centimetres. Adult males in Germany weigh an average of 790 g (622 to 1183 g in general), and females weigh an average of 990 g. The common buzzard lives mainly in small forest areas with adjacent, open landscapes, where it almost exclusively searches for food.
