Heavy White Discharge And Light Period

Obersee birding tour

This was the title of an event of NABU (Nature Conservation Association) Bielefeld, where I have participated this evening. Under expert guidance, we once went to the upper lake and took a look, especially the water birds.

Unfortunately the weather did not correspond entirely to the high summer temperatures, the sun was all the time hiding behind a cloud cover. Therefore I could only just starting to make a few brief shots of the red kite, the apparently regular orbits at 18 clock at the viaduct (where I had seen him yesterday even at the same time, after the observation at 22.6. ):



But he flew directly over us, which is a rather impressive sight:



That was a good entrance. In the next two hours we took a look at all permanent and temporary residents of the lake. Because as I said I could make no more pictures, here are the pictures from Sunday morning, find the perfect photo weather prevailed:

At the Jöllemündung were to see several young and old coots. The adults can not seem to choose one of the nests, or disturbed again and again. You could see them swing steadily in recent days from three places:



least four pups from previous broods but have a size is reached, with which they should be out of the woods:



Also in the field of Jöllemündung were several Grey Heron on the road, here one of them:



somewhat "exotic" are already often mentioned, Little Ringed Plover, which have now two Green Sandpiper joined (on Sunday there was only a)



see while on Sunday only a headed Gull Lake was



there were already a few more. Near the island on the southern ridge were the same six.

the conclusion of the round back on the viaduct, was then the crossing of a hawk, I would even bet that it was the same copy that I could photograph the other day .

On the tour but only a new way for me was while I had not seen the upper lake (a Reed Bunting), but I'm going to check out next time more determined . Take It usually takes me for a "Obersee Round" about half the time, but I just see even a fraction of what I saw today.

Little Curlew

well in recent days seen in the common gull Blog some pictures from the Versmolder break. The area I did not know, so I've made today in the morning, sometimes on the road. I think I will have to focus even more on subsequent visits to something where good view points, but first impressions do you want more.

in a field I was able to observe a large number of lapwings and curlews. Another bird I initially could not quite place. Unfortunately, the meadow was still exactly in the direction of the rising sun. Only after some time I could see the animal clearly:



together especially with the adult bird was I then realized that this is a young curlew:



While I of an observation tower breakfaster heron watched, and this wagtail, which seems to pick this morning with the rolls turn came



flew the adult curlew away some of its young, kept it but a fence post made always in mind:



Unfortunately I had to just past the place, to get back to my car:



I hope that the bird did not take me too bad. I can well imagine that coming soon more photos from this area.

birds of prey at the upper lake

In the last two years I am Obersee really only one kind of birds of prey have noticed: kestrel. You could regularly see a female in the vicinity of the viaduct:



And from time to time was also a male look:



Sorry have made these animals apparently rare, so far I've only seen a couple that was probably just passing through. And buzzards are almost rare in comparison, in the winter before last had the one next to the Jöllebrücke made easy:



is all the more beautiful it that I could shoot in the last few days two species that I otherwise rarely get in front of the lens. The male hawk I had already in the last post mentioned . Today, this kite for a while then circled over the viaduct and then moved slowly along the direction Johannisbachaue Heep:



Then next would actually stop by a fish eagle on the upper lake ...

Hard White Lump On Inside Of Mouth

With a steady hand

ensures With luck, the image stabilizer in my lens for sharp images, even when I photograph them privately. However, I wanted to see how much it takes to fix the camera to tripod. An old aluminum tripod I was still "flying around", and with a new ball, it should be enough for a couple of first attempts. Here are two unfinished sections 1-1 for comparison



One can see that the first picture was somewhat finer details that faded in the second picture. The first is actually from the tripod made the second out of hand. The next step would be a remote release in combination with mirror lock . But then I probably would need a much more stable tripod, so not even the gentle breeze of the day to prevent vibrations caused more than these measures.

The whole scene looked like this way:



While the grebes are already in the second brood, they are still begging of the older pups.

On Sunday I was able to get the upper lake this Sperber, who had his dinner "grabbed"



I the prey can not see them, it could be a gold bunting.

The Black Swan the way, is still there:



He is very friendly and in compliance is a growing near the southern bridge. He is almost certainly a captured fugitive, even if he does not appear to be ringed.

The remaining yield of the last days: the Black Redstart can now watch almost constantly on the north side of the university or at least hear:



While other people at the Dümmer picture taken with long focal lengths rarities could, I had to make do with simpler designs. Again: A Sedge Warbler:



And on Passenger break was at the weekend not sooo busy, but this Dunnock is held apparently by their offspring properly on the go:

A Funny Interesting Speech 3 Minutes Long

Viva Africa!

starts tomorrow in South Africa Soccer World Championship, and is currently running on television, an opening concert from Johannesburg. Stupid, the organizers have probably not had the courage to undertake great musicians from the host country itself, but also have "World Stars" flown down to reel off the usual chart crap. Very sad ...

So I've once seen on YouTube, if I find a few songs and videos with music from South Africa, which has inspired me in the last 25 years. Johnny Clegg & Savuka were the first group from the region, came to my attention in the mid 1980s. Even if it is actually pretty normal rock or even pop music ...





On one of the slightly later albums there was this song that tells of his traditional Zulu wedding (the translation was supplied):



known South African music but of course right through Paul Simon's great album "Graceland " and the equally brilliant concert in Harare . Here is a piece with Ladysmith Black Mambazo :



A star of the concert was Miriam Makeba already in the 1960s with the song "Pata Pata" in the U.S. and Europe was known







Here, however, "Soweto Blues," which explores the student uprising of 1976 concert attended. He also has been in the 60s known as a jazz musician, he joined as the Monterey Pop Festival of 1967 on. A really beautiful song from the period is "Grazing in the Grass":



When Paul Simon concert, he wore his hymn to Nelson Mandela ago:



course, the mention of Winnie Mandela been "problematic", but it's still a beautiful song. And who would have thought that it would take only three years that Mandela is released from prison and that he further four years later became president of his country would.

black swan on the upper lake

The upper lake is always good for surprises ...

Actually, I just wanted to see again after the river plovers that there regularly for over a month at the stone wall between St. John's river and lake can be observed. Today was just one because:



And of course interested me then, how is the offspring of mute swans. Probably because of the long winter, they have this year not as usual five or six chickens, but just one thing:



is There but not from the mother lost sight of and gets determines the undivided attention:

look

As I will be so over the lake, I see this scene:



In fact, a black swan. He swam first to the bay later before Jöllemündung



but he could be on the south bank at close range (and a bad angle to the sun) observed:



And at this Upper Lake photos in the last two weeks, even "get rid": A sandpiper



and a great spotted woodpecker



Update : A seek to the swan in the evening was unfortunately unsuccessful, but I only have the east side of the lake will be searched. There were just too many people go, and I got to watch that I do not yet time will fail, as any idiot again scrambling over the stone dam at the Jöllemündung. I hope at some point because someone breaks a leg, and then, the city not just a "sign that is bent in two days, but otherwise shall ensure that at least this corner of the upper lake remains undisturbed.
