I'm a hobby photographer based in Vienna 🇦🇹. I like taking pictures of birds, bugs and beetles, beautiful places and anything that fits my current obsession. All photos here are my own, unless I quote- or re-posted someone (obvs).

Part of #EastCoastKin.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #grounded as decided by @alan678.bsky.social. Here's a little blackbird sitting in the grass.

A stunning cloud inversion in the Dolomites 🇮🇹 on a bit of a rainy and stormy hiking day.

A sleepy cat I saw in Croatia. Just right for a sleepy #caturday.

For #Flyday today, I have a picture of a Magpie in flight. Only one, I'm afraid, if you're superstitious.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is any bird with #splashing water in the frame. There's plenty where this European Shag was soaring, near the North Light on Lundy 🇬🇧.

Another lovely shot from the Lake District, 🇬🇧 a few weeks ago. Looking across Rydal Water towards Rydal.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay alternate is #seabirds. Here are a few happy Atlantic #Puffins, my favourite bird I've seen, bobbing up and down on the waves.

I've missed a whole bunch due to various reasons, but today, I finally have a good one again for #BirdOfTheDay. @alan678.bsky.social says the theme is #MorningLight, and I saw this little #kingfisher just after sunrise in the Naturpark Donauauen 🇦🇹.

Another super #macro insect #closeup for today's #MacroMonday. This is again a green shield bug, as they're in ample supply in the area. Seriously, they seem to be everywhere the last year or so, is that only my impression? At least they're cute.

A stunning view in the Dolomites when the setting sun appears under the clouds hanging above a mountain ridge. Sadly, I can't recall where exactly that was. Somewhere near Bolzano 🇮🇹, I think.

#Small details of frost flowers that were sitting on my windows this week. If it gets even colder, I can hopefully catch some before they're starting to melt. Still very pretty this way. ❄️

A close shot of water droplets on a sparse spiderweb against a green and yellow late autumn backdrop. The web has a single horizontal strand across the image, which is joined randomly by six vertical strands above and five below. Droplets of various sizes cling to the lines, and reflect the world around.

The path along the coast towards the Old Light in the south of Lundy 🇬🇧. It's a small island, but still has many beautiful Vistas to discover. Looking forward to spending some more time there next year.

LILAC-BREASTED ROLLER: A jewel of the African skies, captured in all its colourful glory. This bird photography shot brings out the vibrant hues and sharp details, especially in the bird’s eye, making the image come alive. The beauty of nature at its finest

What do you think?

This is an old pic taken with my Sony RX10, if you ever have the opportunity to go to Skomer island, jump at the chance as it's really a magical place.

Puffin in flight.

Gotta love a wee autumn raindrop 😉
Macro photograph of a single droplet of water hanging from a purple-and-yellow plant stem, with the droplet acting like a lens and showing a vivid, colourful reflection of surrounding green and purple foliage.

#StareDown is the theme for #BirdOfTheDay today. This roseate spoonbill gazed at me like this after I rudely interrupted her from a nap. #EastCoastKin #birds #Florida

Going with the alternate theme for #BirdOfTheDay today, which is #GullsInFlight. Here's a gull just coming in to land.

Found another moth that was kind enough to keep still for me while I set up my #macro equipment. I love how fluffy they look from up close, and again with beautiful eyelashes.

A #ShadesOfGrey tufted titmouse with its #beakopen (albeit stuffed with a peanut) for today's #BirdOfTheDay.

A tufted titmouse is perched on a stump, seeds scattered at its feet and a shelled peanut in its open beak.

Going with this happy duck for today's #BirdOfTheDay. It does have some #shadesofgrey on the beak, but it also has its #beakopen.
