Three Ducks on a Roof


They came visiting last Friday evening, first landing on the roof of the garage in our “backyard and then slowly waddled over the big lawn out of sight. Those mallards come here sometimes – after all, it’s only about 1km west to the river and 750 meters southeast there’s a pond, as the crow (or duck) flies.

Big Bird #1


This fellow was cruising high up in the air – but it was so big that I was able to pick up some details even with my camera. I’m not sure what this one is exactly, but it could be a heron / Graureiher!

The Swift


Actually only one of the many swifts / Mauersegler who are doing almost daily aerobatics over us. It`s fun to watch them race around, but they’re difficult to photograph. This is about the only halfway decent photo I’ve been able to get.
