White-breasted nuthatches are quite common around me, but I'm always entertained by the way they walk around every surface as if gravity doesn't matter. This is the most right-side up this bird got while I was watching.

Captured with an Olympus OM-1 + 150-600mm telephoto.

take it all in

Your tap, tap, taps sound from behind the silky pink petals. You flit out with a beak full, only to come back and continue to carve out the cavity – a sculpt...

to ground

ok, one more birb

And since I'm on mathstodon - just look at those parametric curves through the stripes- just beautiful!

A small #bird just landed on my head while I was resting on a #bench :D

Hopped around a little, cleaned its wing and then pecked at my hair a bit until giving up and moving on.

I obviously did not move, so I don't know what type of bird it was. If I had to guess, it was probably a #tit as only other small birds common here are #nuthatch​es and I don't think they'd be so brazen. No #sparrow​s here surprisingly. *Could* have been a #robin now that I think about it?

Cute either way :)

Heute morgen war was los auf dem Morgenspaziergang. Entsprechend bringe ich heute ein Reh, eine leicht verfrohrene Blaumeise und einen Kleiber beim Sonnenbad hoch oben in einem Baum mit.

Das Reh rannte leider recht schnell weg, weshalb ich keine Zeit hatte, den ISO weiter hochzudrehen um eine idealere Verschlusszeit hinzubekommen, aber das hier wurde dann doch halbwegs brauchbar. Was ich witzig finde: es sieht ein bisschen aus wie ein Känguru...

Reh:
1/320 • f/6.3 • 600.0 mm • ISO 800

Blaumeise:
1/640 • f/6.3 • 600.0 mm • ISO 250

Kleiber:
1/1000 • f/6.3 • 600.0 mm • ISO 250

NIKON Z 8 • NIKKOR Z 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 VR

The birds are pretty active in our backyard right now. Here is a white-breasted nuthatch enjoying our suet feeder.
