Catch!

Hainhausen is currently my favorite spot when it comes to wildlife. This almost 500m of reed forest and flooded ridges is a dream for many animal species. There are some very beautiful spots for photographers, but also a lot of thickets that block access but thus provide peace for the animals.

My heart leapt when I reunited with the supposedly lost kingfisher – unfortunately, so deep in the bushes, with no clear view. Instead, the herons appeared and strolled around the flooded gardens, helping themselves to the lavishly laid out feeding table.

A longer focal length would be helpful… but when isn’t it? 😉
