In the time of chimpanzees I was a monkey.

Amateur bassist (bass guitar and upright bass, 4 string EBMM Stingray + Ashdown MAG 300 EVO II / GEWA 3/4 if it matters to you).

I stopped trying to understand long ago, then I stopped caring that I didn't understand.

I am a bird enthusiast. All photos I post are my own, except boosts. #Birdphotography is ~ 99% of my toots.

I spotted this young (you can tell by the length of its beak) kingfisher (Alcedo atthis, 🇩🇪 Eisvogel, 🇵🇱 zimorodek) far from the river and its parents, waiting to be fed. Although it can fly, it hasn't learned to hunt yet and is dependent on its parents for food. But the parents already have new chicks, which have priority for feeding. The start of an independent life is hard for birds.

@jake4480 It has a habit of nailing its prey (insects, mice, etc.) to thorns or even sharp wires on the fence, so...

@jake4480 the second one looks cuter perhaps because it’s a she ;)

Little grebe (Tachybaptus ruficollis, 🇩🇪 Zwergtaucher, 🇵🇱 perkozek) chicks are little indeed.

I stopped by today the muddy pool at which I saw a Curlew four days ago, just to see this. White-tailed eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla, 🇩🇪 Seeadler, 🇵🇱 bielik). This must be some exceptional muddy pool. I need to visit it more often.

Bee-eaters (Merops apiaster, 🇩🇪 Bienenfresser, 🇵🇱 żołna) literally feed on bees and other stinging insects, such as wasps or hornets. To avoid being stung, they remove the sting from the insect they catch by smashing it against a tree while holding it in their beak.

Two bee-eaters are sitting on the branch of a dead tree. One is holding a hornet in its beak and smashing it against the branch. Blue sky in the background.

@jake4480 They do that a lot, even with dragonflies. I wish I had a masking gear with me today so I could get closer and film them without disturbing them. Bee-eaters are very shy and cautious. They are able to follow not only your movements but also your eyes (birds have excellent vision, far superior to humans).

@JimsPhotos I don’t usually see them anymore when spring comes. Now they can be seen again in small groups. The plausible explanation, it’s been unusually cold recently

Long-tailed tit (Aegithalos caudatus, 🇩🇪 Schwanzmeise, 🇵🇱 raniuszek). I haven't seen these fluffers for a while, glad to see them again!

Another photo of the White-spotted Bluethroat ♂︎ (Luscinia svecica ssp. cyanecula, 🇩🇪 Blaukehlchen, 🇵🇱 podróżniczek) from last weekend. Although the bird posed ideally, it was too far away for a perfect shot. Still hoping to get one this season

The shy dunnock can be seen hopping about under hedges as its other name, 'hedge sparrow', suggests. It inhabits gardens, woodlands, hedgerows and parks.
