Red Kites in flight/ close up
updated
The Greylag Geese are moulting again and are therefore easier prey for the local White-tailed Eagles. In this video, however, the greylag goose was lucky and the attacking White-tailed Eagle struggled to get out of the water and had to dry its feathers hungrily.
Great-crested Grebes engaged in many early breeding activities.
In a pond area where no Red-necked Grebes have been for more than ten years, a pair has started breeding this year. I'm very curious if this will lead to success.
Kestrel captures relatively unusual prey...
Hoopoe looking for larvae, pupae etc.
Bin glücklich, diesem seltenen Greif so nah gekommen zu sein und hoffe, dass sich der negative Bestandstrend doch noch umkehren lässt.
Diese Aufnahmen konnte ich aus einem gemieteten Hide bei Fred Bollmann machen.
Lesser-spotted Eagle pair at the copula and in many flight maneuvers and feeding on the bait.
I'm happy to have gotten so close to this rare eagle and hope that the negative population trend can still be reversed.
I was able to make these recordings from a rented hide from Fred Bollmann.
Im Hintergrund hört man auch noch einige Feldlerchen singen.
Außerdem teilte diese Nachtigall sich mit einer anderer Nachtigall eine Weidengruppe und beide verfielen zeitweise in einen Sangeswettstreit, wobei die eine immer in einem zeitlichen Versatz die Strophe der anderen nachsang.
Free sitting nightingale singing in the morning.
In the background you can also hear some skylarks singing.
In addition, this nightingale shared a group of willows with another nightingale and both of them sometimes broke into a singing contest, with one always singing the verse of the other at a different time.
Various Marsh Harriers from the last few years during flight manoeuvres.
Recordings from Svalbard in June 2022.
Current videos about our winter guests the Goldeneye.
Curlews in the Brandenburg breeding area. Unfortunately a far too rare guest in Germany for many years.
From 1.5 days on site in Brandenburg, 15 hours of hide and 2.5 hours of film material, this 6min20sec long video with courtship and flying great bustards was created.
Recordings from Svalbard in June 2022.
In this video I show a total of 3 penguin dances by courting Great Crested Grebes. I succeeded in the best sequence in the last week, the other two were partly 2 years ago.
I also show format-filling eating Grebes.

Many scenes with hunting Rough-legged Buzzards, e.g. from the hovering flight and also on the ground killing mice.
Verschiedene Füchse im Lauf des Jahres und auch im tiefsten Winter im Schnee auf der Suche nach Beute...
Everybody a happy and peacefull new year!
Various foxes throughout the year and even in the dead of winter in the snow looking for prey...

This autumn I was able to watch up to 600 cranes resting on my lake at magnificent sunsets...
Trotzdem war der kröpfende Habicht am Luder der Kornweihe sehr spannend zu beobachten,
weil zwei Akteure ihn von seiner Beute vertreiben konnten.
Der erste Störenfried war ein Mäusebussard, der den Habicht dazu brachte erst mit dem kompletten Luder zu fliehen. Die Beute war allerdings zu groß und zu sperrig, um damit wegzufliegen.
Danach kam ein immaturer Seeadler auf die Bühne und wollte seinen Anteil an der Beute haben.
Dazu kam es dann aber nicht, weil ein Gruppe Rehe in verscheuchten. Der Habicht hatte danach erkannt, dass die Beute wieder zu haben war und kam zurück um weiter zu fressen.
Als er satt war und den Tatort verließ, konnte ich zu dem Rest der Weihe gehen und einige Detailaufnahmen machen.
Unfortunately, I was not able to film the hawk's alleged access to the hen harrier itself.
Nevertheless, the hawk at the prey of the hen harrier was very exciting to watch,
because two actors could drive him from his prey.
The first troublemaker was a buzzard, which made the hawk flee with the whole prey. However, the prey was too big and bulky to fly away with.
After that, an immature white-tailed eagle came on stage and wanted his share of the loot.
That didn't happen because a herd of Roe Deers scared them away. The hawk then realized that the prey was available again and came back to continue eating.
When he was finishing his eating and left the crime scene, I was able to go to the rest of the consecration and get some close-up shots.
Bearded seals filmed on Svalbard in June 2022.
The female White-tailed Eagle beats a diving cormorant that cannot dive far enough in shallow water.
Cranes in many activities (many footage of flying Birds) throughout 2022.
King Eider filmed on Svalbard in June 2022.
I was able to film Red-throated Divers in many activities, such as courtship and landing on the water, on Svalbard last June.
Green Sandpiper on an almost dry pond in August on autumn migration.
Leider waren die Wasserstände aufgrund der Dürre dramatisch niedrig, sodass sie sich nur kurz aufgehalten haben.
Various Black Storks stayed in my area during autumn migration.
Unfortunately, the water levels were dramatically low due to the drought, so they only stayed for a short time.
Many spectacular impacts into the water can be seen in this video
The Hobby in its territory shows us breathtaking flight maneuvers to get to its prey, which consists of flying dragonflies.
Unfortunately, a Sparrow Hawk female (from 2min19sec to 2min24sec) got lost in this hawk video! I apologize for this error.
A rare Broad-billed Sandpiper stayed in a pond area in eastern Lower Saxony for a few days during autumn migration.
An unusually diurnal wild boar creek with its six piglets crosses part of a muddy lake that is drying up in some places due to the severe drought.

The second video in my Spitsbergen polar bear trilogy is about a bear that we discovered swimming in the sea and that systematically seeks out all the nests on an island, mostly eider ducks, and eats their contents. At this time of year it's pretty much the only food source apart from the occasional carcass, which is what my first polar bear video was about.

In the far north of Svalbard, near the 80th latitude, I was able to film a polar bear mother with her two cubs that were one year old resting and feeding on a stranded walrus carcass. The family probably stayed there for several weeks because the dead walrus is a reliable source of food during this otherwise very difficult time in the polar summer. One boy was significantly behind his sibling in size and weight, but had enough opportunities to catch up on the carcass.
The recordings were made on a boat tour that was very well organized by http://fotoreisen.ch/.

Again a greylag goose had to serve as prey for the local white-tailed eagle. The goose recognized the danger in time and went to the diving station. However, the eagle was able to grab the goose in shallow water and swim with it to land, where two cranes awaited it and attacked it, so that it had to take a detour with its prey.
When geese are moulting, they live dangerously because the native White-tailed Eagles prefer them as easy prey. Unfortunately, the distance to the action was more than 400m, so the quality naturally suffered as a result.
A pack of wild boar with 12 piglets showed up at my lake at an unexpected time in the afternoon. They were looking for worms or mouse nests and were observed for almost an hour.
During spring migration, the osprey makes some unfortunately unsuccessful attempts to catch prey.
