Pyrgus malvae

After a rainy day near Mallnitz the sun comes out behind the clouds in the late afternoon. The butterfly spreaded his wings for drying.

Damon blue

Damon blue

Right time, right place – but the external conditions made photographing the Damon blue (Polyommatus damon) for torture: light wind, high temperature, millions of disturbing mosquitoes and a filigree culm. Only a few well-made images we were able to take home.  Zur richtigen Zeit am richtigen Ort – doch die Bedingungen machten das Fotografieren des Weißdolch-Bläulings/ Großen Esparsetten-Bläulings (Polyommatus damon) zur Tortur: leichter […]

In fact, we were hiking in Fjells for more than 10 hours a day with backpacks of up to 30 kg just […]

Merops Apiaster

Merops Apiaster

Es sieht aus, als würde der Bienenfresser (Merops Apiaster) schreien, aber das ist nicht so. Dieses Exemplar öffnete mehrmals hintereinander den Schnabel um zu würgen. Denn wie die meisten Vögel, kann er nicht alles verdauen und würgt den Rest in Form einer Kugel herauf. Seine Versuche waren jedoch vergebens. Es wollte einfach nichts kommen. Viel […]
