Kohlmeise auf einem Ast – fotografiert an meinem kleinen Vogelplatz. Es ist immer wieder schön zu beobachten, wie die Vögel das Angebot aus Futter und Wasser annehmen. Ob im Sommer oder im Winter: Sie finden hier eine zuverlässige Anlaufstelle und eine willkommene Ausweichmöglichkeit.

English:

Great tit on a branch – photographed at my small bird spot. It's always nice to see how the birds appreciate the food and water I provide. Whether in summer or winter, they find a reliable place to stop by and a welcome alternative when needed.

-Blaumeise in Abendwärme

Deutsch:
Diese Aufnahme einer Blaumeise entstand am Abend, als das Licht besonders weich wurde. Sie saß für einen Moment ruhig auf dem Ast und ließ sich in aller Ruhe fotografieren.

English:
This shot of a Eurasian blue tit was taken in the evening, when the light turned soft and warm. The bird sat still on the branch just long enough for a calm and focused capture.

Morning glow crowns a city regular as a #WoodPigeon pauses on the rail, eye like a pearl and feathers in soft lavender, bokeh turning the trees into coins of light. Calm presence in the bustle, a quiet nod from urban nature.

After two weeks away, the journey back home felt almost longer than the trip itself. Unpacking, laundry, sorting things out… you probably know that feeling when vacation ends and “real life” piles up faster than your suitcase ever did. By the end of the day, I was ready for another vacation (not seriously, but you get me 😅).

And then, in the middle of the post-trip chaos, a small reminder of home arrived. A lovely little robin hopped into the garden as if to say, “Welcome back, where have you been?” For me, it felt like a quiet celebration: back to familiar surroundings, back to feeding the birds, back to the rhythms of daily life.

Robins have a special place in many cultures. In folklore, they’re often seen as messengers of hope, new beginnings, and sometimes even as guardians watching over us. Scientifically, they’re just as fascinating: their red breast is a territorial signal, and they’re among the few birds that will sing all year round — even through winter, when most others fall silent. That’s perhaps why they’ve long been seen as little bringers of cheer.

This robin, perched patiently, reminded me that home has its own kind of magic — sometimes quieter than a new destination, but just as worth noticing.
