🇺🇸: The Eurasian Nuthatch (Sitta europaea) is a bird species in the nuthatch family. It reaches a body length of 12 to 14.5 centimeters. Unlike treecreepers and woodpeckers, it can climb upside down. It’s found in Europe, Northwest Africa, and Asia (except South and Southeast Asia). Its diet consists mainly of insects, insect eggs, and larvae. In autumn, seeds, berries, and nuts are added.

🇩🇪: Der Kleiber (Sitta europaea) ist eine Vogelart aus der Familie der Kleiber. Er erreicht eine Körperlänge von 12 bis 14,5 Zentimetern. Im Gegensatz zum Baumläufer und zu Spechten kann er kopfüber klettern. Der eurasische Kleiber kommt in Europa, Nordwest-Afrika und Asien (mit Ausnahme von Süd- und Südostasien) vor. Die Nahrung besteht hauptsächlich aus Insekten, Insekteneiern und -larven. Im Herbst kommen Samen, Beeren und Nüsse dazu.

This brave one let me get close and even came up to me🙂 I was also surprised by the encounter, as I always walk past the field where I saw on this day two rooks, and there were usually only carrion crows there😄

🇺🇸: The rook (Corvus frugilegus) is one of the four European species of the genus Corvus in the family Corvidae. The rook is hardly confused in its adult plumage. young birds can be confused with the equally large carrion crow (C. corone corone). The wingspan is 98 centimetres. The plumage of the approximately 46 centimetre tall rook is uniformly black, with a slightly reddish sheen. Depending on the light, the crown and neck shimmer greenish or violet-metallic. The base of the beak of the adult birds is bare and scabby-whitish, that of the young birds is still feathered. As with all Corvus species, the food of the rook is extremely varied. Although it prefers plant-based food, the latter is nevertheless moderately predominant, accounting for three fifths. Earthworms, various species of crane flies, beetles and their developmental stages as well as slugs are among the preferred prey.

I saw this stork last year or the year before on the way to a lake. It is sitting on a house to the right next to a traffic light. The last time the light unfortunately turned green too quickly, which is why I didn't catch it. This time I knew that a stork lived there and I immediately got my camera ready, rolled down the window and took a picture. I'm really glad that I was able to admire this majestic animal again! Thanks to the red light that gave me enough time.

🇺🇸: The white stork (Ciconia ciconia) is a species of bird in the stork family (Ciconiidae). They are about 80 to 100 cm long and have a wingspan of about 200 to 220 cm. They weigh about 2.5 to 4.5 kg. They feed on small animals such as earthworms, insects, snails, amphibians, moles, mice, rats, shrews, fish, lizards, snakes and carrion.

🇩🇪: Der Weißstorch (Ciconia ciconia) ist eine Vogelart aus der Familie der Störche (Ciconiidae). Sie sind etwa 80 bis 100 cm lang und haben eine Flügelspannweite von etwa 200 bis 220 cm. Sie haben ein Gewicht von etwa 2,5 bis 4,5 kg. Er ernährt sich von Kleintieren wie Regenwürmern, Insekten, Schnecken, Froschlurchen, Maulwürfen, Mäusen, Ratten, Spitzmäusen, Fischen, Eidechsen, Schlangen sowie von Aas.

🇺🇸: The goldcrest (Regulus regulus) is one of the smallest bird species in Europe. With a body length of around nine centimetres, it weighs only between four and seven grams. The goldcrest breeds in Europe, the Middle East, southwest Siberia and the mountains of Central and Middle Asia, and also breeds in Japan. It is basically a coniferous forest dweller with a strong connection to spruce and other short-needled tree species. Goldcrests only eat small arthropods, and the amount of food they eat each day is at least equal to their body weight. The food requirement for young birds, birds moulting or females laying eggs can double.

🇩🇪: Das Wintergoldhähnchen (Regulus regulus) ist eine der kleinsten Vogelarten Europas. Mit seinen etwa neun Zentimetern Körpergröße wiegt es nur zwischen vier und sieben Gramm. Das Wintergoldhähnchen ist ein Brutvogel Europas, Vorderasiens, Südwestsibiriens sowie der Gebirge Mittel- und Zentralasiens und brütet auch in Japan. Es ist grundsätzlich ein Nadelwaldbewohner mit einer starken Bindung an Fichten und andere kurznadelige Baumarten. Wintergoldhähnchen fressen ausschließlich kleine Gliederfüßer, die täglich aufgenommene Nahrungsmenge entspricht mindestens ihrem Körpergewicht. Bei Jungvögeln, Vögeln in der Mauser oder bei Weibchen während der Eiablage kann der Nahrungsbedarf auf das Doppelte ansteigen.

I know I’m posting a lot of kestrels at the moment, but they’re just getting braver towards me🥹 This female placed her up in the tree after a few walkers passed by. I already knew she was less shy and took the chance. I didn’t look at her to find a place without backlighting and luckily she stayed and let me take photos.

🇺🇸: The kestrel (Falco tinnunculus) is the most common falcon in Central Europe. It is relatively familiar to the public because it has also conquered cities and urban areas as its habitat and can often be seen hovering. Body size and wingspan vary greatly depending on the subspecies and individual. In the subspecies Falco tinnunculus tinnunculus found in Europe, males reach an average body length of 34.5 centimeters and females 36 centimeters. The average wingspan of males is just under 75 centimeters and that of the larger females is 76 centimeters. Studies have shown that females can differentiate between eleven different vocalizations and males over nine. The calls can be divided into a few basic patterns, the volume, pitch and frequency of which vary depending on the situation.

🇺🇸: The marsh tit (Poecile palustris, from Latin palus ‚marsh‘) is a songbird species from the tit family (Paridae). With a body length of 11.5 to 13 cm, the marsh tit is between the great tit and the blue tit in size. The range of the marsh tit spans the temperate zone of the Palearctic, but has a gap of almost 2000 km in the Urals and western Siberia. The marsh tit prefers to inhabit varied and boundary-rich deciduous forests or mixed forests rich in deciduous trees that have a large stock of old trees, sufficient dead wood and light undergrowth.

🇩🇪: Die Sumpfmeise (Poecile palustris, zu lateinisch palus ‚Sumpf‘) ist eine Singvogelart aus der Familie der Meisen (Paridae). Die Sumpfmeise steht mit 11,5 bis 13 cm Körperlänge in der Größe zwischen Kohl- und Blaumeise. Das Verbreitungsgebiet der Sumpfmeise umspannt die gemäßigte Zone der Paläarktis, weist aber im Bereich des Urals und des westlichen Sibiriens eine fast 2000 km weite Lücke auf. Die Sumpfmeise besiedelt bevorzugt abwechslungs- und grenzlinienreiche Laubwälder oder laubholzreiche Mischwälder, die einen großen Altholzbestand, ausreichend Totholz und lichten Unterwuchs aufweisen.

I saw this buzzard sitting there in the afternoon when the sun was already down. It really annoyed me because it was just too dark for a good photo. The next day I was even happier when it sat in the same place again while it was looking for mice. Because it wanted to catch them, it looked as if it had been having fun in the snow😄 It’s always nice to see these animals up close, especially because I’ve never been anywhere near that close to a buzzard in my city🥹

🇺🇸: The common buzzard (Buteo buteo) is a bird of prey from the Accipitridae family and the most common representative of this family in Central Europe. The common buzzard’s distribution area covers all of Europe, with the exception of islands and northern Scandinavia. The common buzzard is a medium-sized, compact bird of prey. It is 51 to 57 centimetres long and has a wingspan of 113 to 128 centimetres. Adult males in Germany weigh an average of 790 g (622 to 1183 g in general), and females weigh an average of 990 g. The common buzzard lives mainly in small forest areas with adjacent, open landscapes, where it almost exclusively searches for food.

Definitely not the Picture I wanted to have but it’s the only flying pic I got this day. At least you can see their beautiful wings💜

🇺🇸: The goldfinch (Carduelis carduelis) is a bird species in the finch family (Fringillidae). Goldfinches have a body length of about 12 to 13 centimeters. The wingspan is 21 to 25 centimeters and the body weight is usually about 14 to 19 grams. The goldfinch inhabits Western Europe to Central Siberia, North Africa, and Western and Central Asia. It is absent from Iceland and central and northern Fennoscandia. It was introduced by humans into South America and Australia, as well as New Zealand and some of the islands of Oceania. It can be found on forest edges, in orchards, in field groves, in hedgerows, and on river banks.

🇩🇪: Der Stieglitz (Carduelis carduelis), auch Distelfink genannt, ist eine Vogelart aus der Familie der Finken (Fringillidae). Stieglitze haben eine Körperlänge von etwa 12 bis 13 Zentimetern. Die Flügelspannweite beträgt 21 bis 25 Zentimeter und das Körpergewicht liegt meist bei etwa 14 bis 19 Gramm. Der Stieglitz besiedelt Westeuropa bis Mittelsibirien, Nordafrika sowie West- und Zentralasien. Er fehlt in Island und dem mittleren und nördlichen Fennoskandinavien. In Südamerika und Australien sowie auf Neuseeland und einigen Inseln Ozeaniens wurde er vom Menschen eingeführt. Er ist an Waldrändern, in Streuobstwiesen, in Feldgehölzen, in Heckenlandschaften und an Flussufern zu finden.

🇺🇸: The Eurasian red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris), often known simply as the squirrel, is a rodent in the squirrel family (Sciuridae). It is the only member of the squirrel genus that occurs naturally in Central Europe and is also known as the European red squirrel to distinguish it from other species such as the Caucasian red squirrel and the grey squirrel, which is naturalized in Europe. The squirrel’s body structure is adapted to a tree-dwelling and climbing lifestyle. It weighs around 200–400 g. The head-body length is 20–25 cm. The bushy tail, which is covered in two rows of hair, is 15–20 cm long. It serves as a balancing aid when climbing and as a rudder when jumping. The tail is always held in the air when running.

🇩🇪: Das Eurasische Eichhörnchen (Sciurus vulgaris), häufig nur als Eichhörnchen bekannt, ist ein Nagetier aus der Familie der Hörnchen (Sciuridae). Es ist der einzige natürlich in Mitteleuropa vorkommende Vertreter aus der Gattung der Eichhörnchen und wird zur Unterscheidung von anderen Arten wie dem Kaukasischen Eichhörnchen und dem in Europa eingebürgerten Grauhörnchen auch als Europäisches Eichhörnchen bezeichnet. In seinem Körperbau ist das Eichhörnchen an eine baumbewohnende und kletternde Lebensweise angepasst. Es wiegt etwa 200–400 g. Die Kopf-Rumpf-Länge beträgt 20–25 cm. Der zweizeilig behaarte, buschige Schwanz ist 15–20 cm lang. Er dient beim Klettern als Balancierhilfe und beim Springen als Steuerruder. Beim Laufen wird der Schwanz stets in der Luft gehalten.

It was a cold day without sun but I still wanted to go looking for birds. Unfortunately there was nothing going on until I heard 2 black woodpeckers. I looked around carefully until I saw this male on a thin, bare tree. I had only seen his belly and had to fight my way through the snow and fir trees to see him from the side. He hid most of the time and only showed his head now and then, which is why in the 10 minutes he was there, „only“ 2 pictures were taken. But I’m still happy!

🇺🇸: The black woodpecker (Dryocopus martius) is a member of the genus Dryocopus within the subfamily of the true woodpeckers (Picinae). Black woodpeckers of the nominate form Dryocopus martius martius reach a body length of up to 57 centimeters, with a wingspan of about 70 centimeters. The weight varies between 260 and 340 grams depending on the nutritional status. It is distributed across almost the entire northern and central Palearctic, with the exception of the British Isles and Iceland. Black woodpeckers feed mainly on insects, primarily ants. The proportion of plant food is insignificant, but fruits and berries as well as conifer seeds are occasionally consumed.

Not sure if this is a bird or a fluff ball

🇺🇸: The long-tailed tit (Aegithalos caudatus) is a small passerine bird in the family of long-tailed tits (Aegithalidae). It is quite small, with a total length of 13 to 16 centimeters, a round, spherical body and a noticeably long tail of 6 to 10 centimeters, which is where the species name comes from. The black beak is short and fine, measuring 6 to 7 millimeters in length. It weighs seven to ten grams and its wings are 6 to 7 centimeters long. The breeding range of this Palaearctic species extends over large parts of the temperate maritime and continental climate zones and extends into the boreal and subtropical zones. It inhabits habitats with richly structured edges and a frequent alternation between wooded or bushy and open areas. It likes moist soil habitats, often near water.
