Two photos of a Common Goldcrest (i. e. the Golden Winter Chicken in German, Wintergoldhähnchen) showing off its fantastic hair!
As far as I know, they are the smallest bird we have in Germany and they really are absolutely tiny! Not only that, they are seemingly unable to keep still, so taking photos of them can be difficult at times.
@brunoph Thank you very much and I absolutely agree with you! They can even fluff up their crest which looks even cooler! But I have yet to take a picture of that myself.
I looked out of the kitchen window and saw something large and strange on a neighbour's roof. I took my camera, looked more closely and, wouldn't you know it, it's the Black Stork!
I immediately went to the house to take some photos of it on the roof. It really doesn't care about people at all.
The owners hadn't noticed it either. They only came out because they saw us taking photos.
@johnshirley2024 It does indeed. This is in Bielefeld, Germany. This stork has become quite famous amongst birders here after my having discovered it at a rain water retention basin near my apartment. Black storks are pretty rare around here.
