Grey heron (Ardea cinerea)
Autumn unfolds its colors at and on the small lake, which is actually an old arm of the river Aare, and the gray heron casually standing on one leg asserts itself as the boss on the water. The place is well protected, no human being can get there, which he knows of course. Nevertheless, he is very attentive and would fly away at the slightest disturbance.

After last year's sharp decline in the number of kingfishers, probably due to the summer floods, I finally found them again in recent weeks. Up to four blue flashes drew their circles at the same time and tried to mark their territories. Only one, however, the place deer namely, sits down regularly and also for a longer time on the fallen tree, which is very weathered over the years.

Common Buzzard
This young common buzzard was probably just told by his parents to care for himself. For a long time he sat on this branch directly above a frequently walked path and screamed for his life. For me a stroke of luck, I could photograph him in beautiful light.

Marbled White (Melanargia galathea)
After I could hardly find marbled whites last year probably because of the continuous rather bad weather, I had more luck again this year. Although these butterflies are not quite colorful, they still give me great pleasure with their wing markings every time I discover them in the meadow.
