»Ich versuchte, mir eine Welt ohne Vögel vorzustellen. Es hieße nichts anderes, als sich das Grauen auszumalen, die totale Stille, das Ende der Welt.“ (Judith Schalansky) #nature #birds

Europes most colorful #birds, the European Bee-eater ❤️

Sceptical cattle egret, he's probably thinking "wait, this isn't spain.." #birds rarity

It's baby #bird season 🥰

Todays #BirdOfTheDay theme is #SeaBirds, I'm going with this group of Northern Gannets from the #BirdRace last saturday

Some #birdrace 2026 impressions, got 81 species this time. With my team mate @robinheinennl.bsky.social we got almost 130!

Very tame Grey Heron I met last year in Barcelona for the #BirdOfTheDay with the #Ardeidae theme

Twitching went right this time! Found the stilt! Also some very good #birds pics, considering this is #digiscoping

Didn't get any pretty bird pics this time, but I still found a lot more species for the year list! Thanks @robinheinennl.bsky.social for taking me there! You might find a few nice bird pics of this trip on his account soon

Bad lighting, far away, but nice #birds of course everyone just got there for the baby lapwings ❤️

Not only #birds this time :)

Only the male #birds sing? Think again! This female Black redstart shows her talent!

White wagtail preening #birds

Finally some good quality optics! It's so fun being able to focus on literally everything! #seetheunseen #mywildlife #birds

White wagtail shocked about being stalked lol #birds #digiscoping

Better quality #birds now! Disregard the dirty spots on the window.

Some more digiscoping #birds

My favorite #bird show

Who would have thunk a good tripod made digiscoping so much easier? Better #birding scope following too soon!

Who wants to play "Guess the sonogram"? I wish the ones I work on were as clear and beautiful as this one lol #birds #sounds

Slowly getting the hang with digiscoping, this was all at 60x zoom #birds one cropped and tilted looks almost like a "real photograph"

Some more terrible pictures of great birds! Thanks to a friend who took me birding to some pretty inaccessible lakes, i (briefly) became #1 birder in my region on ebird for this year :)

Bike #birding can be a little complicated, and freezing in winter. But it's still worth it! Found a few winter guests like a Great Grey Shrike and even a male Merlin! Super excited about this lifer, couldn't get a pic of him sadly. The yellowhammer was a nice colorful spot in the brown.

Nice little #birding trip, a first for the whooper swans 🥰 froze to death but it was worth it!

youtu.be/jmys2abx4co?... Super interesting research

Getting some different #birds on my winter break, the alpine choughs are super friendly birds and great fliers! Also a great escape from the winter fog ❤️

Finding some color in the grey of winter

BABY BIRD POOF! I'm looking back to June 16th when the weather was warm and the birds were baby. #FallBack #birds 🌿

Borb is beautiful #birds 🌿

The long tailed tits trying their best to cure my bad winter monday mood #birds

Office - #birding because that's the only time i see any light. Fuck winter.

Darwinopterus modularis flaplings getting ready for the big leap 😬🤞 #pterosaur #paleoart #sciart #jurassic

I always love bohemian waxwing visits for berries. #birdoftheday #birds #berriesandbeaks

Skillz. #birds

A reminder that even the most graceful among us can be a klutz now and then. This pygmy nuthatch (Sitta pygmaea) was headed down a tree trunk when it lost its grip and hit its head on a branch. Loss of dignity aside, no harm done. Photo taken on September 14, 2025. #nature #naturephotography #birds

www.newyorker.com/magazine/202... I wonder what they are saying in all the recordings I'm working on

The perks of #birding in a busy park, they don't mind you being only a meter away!

The world can be so dark and sad. But then there's hummingbirds. And sometimes they land on flowers. #birds

Just some #duckbutts for #mentalhealth #birding Spontaneous trip without any gear

I saw this pair of Blue-tailed Bee-eaters in Benchakitti Park in Bangkok. The male on the left is just about to give the female a tasty dragonfly. Stunning birds. #birds #birdphotography #birdsseenin2025 #canonphotography

First time #twitching for a rare bird! Spoiler: I didn't find it. The spot was great tho and the Baby Lapwing (not pictured, he was skedaddling too fast) definitely made up for it! Many other nice #birds too! If I had a proper camera there would have been awesome opportunities!

Posting pictures I have taken of birds to stop my feed just being depressing politics #birds ##birdsofbluesky Long-tailed Glossy Starling, Gambia, November 2023
