Eine männliche Bartmeise sitzt auf einem dünnen Schilfhalm. Ihr blaugrauer Kopf mit markanter schwarzer „Bart“-Zeichnung kontrastiert mit dem warm orangebraunen Gefieder des Körpers. Ein Flügel ist halb ausgebreitet und zeigt die feinen, hellen Federstrukturen im Gegenlicht. Der lange, orangefarbene Schwanz verläuft elegant nach hinten. Der Hintergrund besteht aus weich verschwommenem, beigefarbenem Schilf und erzeugt eine ruhige, natürliche Atmosphäre.

A male Bearded Reedling is perched on a slender reed stem. Its blue-grey head with the distinctive black “moustache” marking contrasts beautifully with the warm orange-brown plumage of its body. One wing is partially spread, revealing delicate, light-colored feather structures illuminated by soft backlight. The long orange tail extends gracefully behind. The background consists of softly blurred beige reeds, creating a calm and natural atmosphere.

Eine Rohrdommel steht auf der Eisfläche eines zugefrorenen Sees. Das braun-beige gemusterte Gefieder hebt sich sanft von den kühlen Blautönen des Eises ab und harmoniert mit den trockenen Schilfhalmen im Vordergrund. Der Vogel hält den Schnabel leicht nach oben gerichtet – eine typische Tarnhaltung, die Ruhe, Konzentration und winterliche Stille ausstrahlt.

A bittern stands on the frozen surface of a lake. Its brown and beige patterned plumage contrasts gently with the cool blue tones of the ice and blends with the dry reeds in the foreground. The bird holds its bill slightly upward, a typical camouflage posture that conveys calm, focus, and winter stillness.

Still Morning

This spot lies on my cycling route to work. On this particular morning, without any wind to stir the waters, and with the just risen sun shining through a thin layer of mist, I just had to stop here. The conditions were too perfect to pass up this chance. Even without a proper camera, and with only a phone camera on me.

Soon, a few photography friends and I will be presenting each other our best shots of the past year. And with selecting your best shots, comes the dismissal of the ones you really like, but ultimately don't make the cut. I will be sharing those shots here, in chronological order. This is number 4 of 19.
