Had the cutest visitor in our garden today. The, sadly now endangered, hedgehog. #photography #wildlife #hedgehog #igel #cute #mammal #canon #canonphotography #eosr6markii #ef400mmf4doisii #darktable #darktableprocessed

This sparrowhawk caught a young blackbird right in my backyard. Luckily I was able to get my camera while it was ripping apart its prey. The bird didn't really care about me, it was carefully keeping an eye out for the blackbirds that were screaming at it the whole time. That was really one of the most gruesome but at the same time exciting moments in a long time.

Two moorhens searching for some delicious plants. These chicks look so cute.

Pidgeon perfect!
This cutie visits our garden on a daily basis and sometimes it let's the sun warm it up while sitting comfortably in the grass.
This is always incredibly sweet and I love watching it just sit there enjoying the comfort.

Swantastic!
This swan constantly swam with its wings upwards, but otherwise didn't seem to be aggressive or anything.

The weather just wasn't right today at all, but this Egyptian goose was so nice for me to pose for a portrait.

This raven was very sceptical of me at first. I tried gaining the trust of it by repeatedly throwing nuts in its direction and stepping back. After a few attempts it let get some photos. This is the one that I like the most - the contrast between the snow and the bird, its pose, I just love it.

Squirrel! What else shall I say, it's a squirrel, it's incredibly cute and I'm so happy that I got two perfectly sharp shots of it climbing on a tree.

Storks in the wild are always something special.
This one kept a careful eye on me and provided the perfect subject.

Another thing that is always beautiful on the coast: the fauna that lives mainly among the grasses on the dikes and dunes. Luckily, one inhabitant put itself on display for a short time, a rabbit with charming eyes in the evening sun.
