Avenue in the Rhäden
I had already posted this avenue as a winter image before; it looked a bit bare. Now it has awakened in full spring green. The focus is deep in the background to draw you in. The light coming in from the depth is due to the position of the sun and also contributes to the sense of depth. By the way, the two black dots on the left edge of the path are two blackbirds.

Allee in den Rhäden
Diese Allee hatte ich schon einmal als Winterbild eingestellt, sah ein wenig karg aus. Nun ist sie in vollem Frühlings-Grün erwacht. Die Schärfe liegt tief im Hintergrund, um hineingezogen zu werden. Der Lichteinfall in der Tiefe ist dem Sonnenstand geschuldet und trägt ebenfalls zum Tiefeneindruck bei. Übrigens, die beiden schwarzen Punkte am linken Wegesrand sind zwei Amseln.

two little ringed plovers in flight
These little ringed plovers are quite rare here. I'm happy to have captured them on camera.

zwei Flussregenpfeifer im Flug
Diese Flussregenpfeifer kommen bei uns recht selten vor. Freue mich, sie vor die Linse bekommen zu haben.

Crane's-bill with blade of grass
I saw this natural arrangement of cranesbill and a blade of grass as an attractive subject. It stood out so beautifully against the dark background.

Storchenschnabel mit Grashalm
Habe dieses natürliche Arrangement von Storchenschnabel und Grashalm als attraktives Motiv gesehen. Hob sich so schön vom dunklen Hintergrund ab.

four swallows
Since the swarms of swallows were still visible here today, I took the opportunity to take more photos of them. They are very fast in the air and constantly change direction. But when they need to rest, you can catch a few of them in flight. I also have another picture where a single swallow is captured in flight. (Photo taken in portrait format, not cropped)

vier Schwalben
Da die Schwärme von Schwalben auch heute noch hier zu sehen waren, habe ich noch einmal die Gelegenheit genutzt und weitere Fotos von ihnen geschossen. Sie sind sehr schnell in der Luft und wechseln ständig die Richtung. Aber wenn sie dann mal ausruhen müssen, bekommt man die ein oder andere auch im Flug. Habe noch ein weiteres Bild, wo nur eine einzelne Schwalbe im Flug auf Foto gebannt ist. (Foto ist in Hochformat aufgenommen, nicht geschnitten)

Swallow Trio
This morning I was able to watch flocks of swallows repeatedly flying over the lake. Only when they rested on a tree could I catch some arrivals in flight. I focused only on a few sitting birds, to which a few others then joined. Here are just three, but there were certainly around 50.

Schwalben Trio
Heute Morgen konnte ich Scharen von Schwalben beobachten, wie sie immer wieder über den See flogen. Erst als diese sich auf einem Baum ausruhten, konnte ich Ankömmlinge im Flug erwischen. Ich hielt nur auf ein paar Sitzende, zu denen sich dann der ein oder andere gesellte. Hier nur drei, aber es waren sicher an die 50.

Stork on final approach
This stork (not from the nearby nest) circled for a long time over the Rhäden wetland, but then discovered it as a good feeding spot.

Storch im Landeanflug
Dieser Storch (nicht aus dem nahegelegenem Horst) kreiste zuvor lange über dem Feuchtgebiet Rhäden, hat es dann aber als guten Futterplatz für sich entdeckt.

Female Common Whitethroat
Today, during my walk, I came across a pair of common whitethroats. They took turns flying to this tree, which was covered in ivy and bore fruit.

Mönchsgrasmücke weiblich
Heute traf ich bei meinem Rundgang ein Mönchsgrasmücken-Pärchen an. Sie flogen abwechseln an diesem Baum, wo sich Efeu rankte und Früchte trug.

Treecreeper
Here, the treecreeper feels completely in its element. Searching for insects in the crevices of the bark.
