I was surprised by how few ducks I saw in Sri Lanka. I mostly saw pond mongrels (mixes of a few domestic breeds with a bit of Mallard mixed in - because there's always a bit of Mallard mixed in). The one notable exception is the beautiful Lesser Whistling Duck, I saw several of them, and they were mostly paired up, So hopefully they will continue to be around.

About an hour and 5 kilometers into my walk in the Oisterwijk forests, near the edge of a heath field, I was rewarded with one of my favorite little birds: the Long-tailed Tit (Aegithalos caudatus).

A small, energetic bundle of feathers, constantly hopping from branch to branch, never sitting still for long. Not the easiest subject to photograph… but absolutely worth the effort.

With its soft black-and-white tones and a subtle hint of color on its head, it almost feels like a tiny, living brushstroke moving through the bushes.

Moments like these are more than just photographs for me. These walks are small paths of healing. Not because I am searching for something specific, but because nature keeps offering these quiet, fleeting gifts—light through branches, wind through leaves, and the simple presence of life around us.

Captured with my Canon EOS 5D Mark IV and Sigma 100–400mm, 400mm, f/6.3, 1/500 sec, ISO 1250.

🗨️🇬🇧
🦢 Mute swan preening its feathers 🇩🇪
📝 To get this shot, I kept creeping closer little by little, taking 3–4 photos before starting over from the beginning. The swan was so engrossed that it didn’t notice me. This isn’t a cropped photo. In the end, I crept back out again.
ℹ️ The mute swan (Cygnus olor) grows up to 1.6 meters long and can have a wingspan of up to 2.4 meters. They feed mainly on aquatic plants and small animals, such as mussels.

🦢 Höckerschwan putzt sich raus 🇩🇪
📝 Für dieses Foto habe ich mich immer wieder einen Schritt herangepirscht, 3-4 Fotos gemacht und von vorne. Der Schwan war so sehr mit sich beschäftigt, dass er mich nicht gemerkt hat. Das ist kein Crop. Am Ende wieder zurück gepirscht.
ℹ️ Der Höckerschwan (Cygnus olor) wird bis zu 1,60 Meter lang und erreicht dabei eine Spannweite von bis zu 2,40 Meter. Er ernährt sich vor allem von Pflanzen, die im Wasser leben, und kleinen Tieren, wie Muscheln. Markant ist der Höcker über dem Schnabel, woher der Schwan seinen Namen hat.
