A grass snake, first one I've seen this year, photographed at the pond this afternoon 🐍 🌿 #reptiles #snake #schlange

These tiny insects with the mighty name Blue long-horned snailkiller, according to iNaturalist, seem to have a nicely balanced view of matters. 🌿🪳 #bugsky #insects

Made a photo of this cute frog yesterday. There it is, chilling out on a water lily leaf with a touch of wind-strewn petals 🐸 🌿 #amphibians #frogs #naturephotography

"I know there's something going on..." This lizard gives me a suspicious side-eye as I inch closer with my camera 🦎 🌿 #lizards #reptiles

👽 An ET moment from this wall lizard who managed to be cheeky and shy at the same time! 🦎 🌿 #lizard #reptiles

A kestrel directs a deeply sceptical look at me, then decides that I am entirely unsuitable prey and loses all interest. Such is the way of kestrels! 🪶🌿 #birds #kestrel

Companion piece to my bubble-gumming frog photo I posted yesterday. Those bubbles seem to be taller than its head. Turn on the sound to listen to those cheeks in action too! 🐸 🌿 #amphibians #frogs

Photographed a bubble-gumming frog over the weekend. Vocal sacs spread to the max. And... is it actually hugging those bubbles? 🐸 🌿 #amphibians #frogs

Forgot to mention that the kingfisher was crowned Bird of the Year 2026 in Switzerland🇨🇭 #kingfisher #eisvogel #schweiz #switzerland

No, these are not northern lights (I wish....). Yesterday's nocturnal pink sky over Basel is the result of low-hanging clouds reflecting the local football stadium's horticultural lights. 🌿 #Basel #Switzerland #Schweiz

A crow, rainbow and nut all fitting very nicely together somehow. Photographed 5 minutes ago during a summer shower. 🌿 🪶

Stomach view of the jersey tiger moth. It was sitting on the window showing off all those spots! 🌿 🦋

🌿 🦋 Was very pleased to discover this pretty jersey tiger moth sitting on a leaf in the front yard 📸 #moth #insects #bugsky

🇨🇭Swiss National Day yesterday. Gave me the opportunity to photograph the village fireworks for a colourful albeit rather noisy change! #swissnationalday #bundesfeier #switzerland #schweiz

Saw and photographed one of my crow buddies today. Just look at those white feather bases, on display thanks to the wind ruffling its plumage. Do all crows have this? Crow experts, any insights? 🪶 🌿 #crow #corvids

Carder bees are the cutest with their fluffy orange hairdos. Managed to snap this one after many tries 🌿 🐝 #bugsky #bee #switzerland

I spent a pond-erous afternoon with my camera. One of my favourite shots: this frog sitting earnestly in front of two water lilies. Just check out that upright posture. Lots of attitude! 🐸 🌿 #amphibians #frogs #switzerland

A carder bee (I love the orange hairstyle!) busy at work 🌿 🐝 #bugsky #bee #summer

Finally!🎉

🪶 🌿 If I imitated the posture below, it would be an utter disaster. Don't try heron yoga to get to your armpit. @everyheron.bsky.social #heron #birds #graureiher

When I was not at work or photographing nature in my free time, I was studying during the past months. Last Friday, I received my CAS certificate in Digital Branding at the @fhnw.ch in Olten. Many thanks to the FHNW team and teachers for this journey, I enjoyed being a graduate again! 🎓🎉
