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. ❄️

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.

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.

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

The Haller Mauern in the Austrian Alps with the Milky Way centre rising behind them. I camped a night in the mountains for that picture, and it was entirely worth it.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay is about #CootsAndMoorhens. Here's a coot I saw recently posing for me during the #goldenhour.

Sometimes when I'm out watching birds, I am lucky enough to meet other #wildlife. Here's a hare that tried hiding in the grass for a bit, before deciding I had definitely seen it and escaping. Seen in the Naturpark Donauauen 🇦🇹.

A #macro shot of happy little bee doing its pollination thing this summer. I miss all the buzzing in my garden these days.

The view I had on Friday while hiking in the Lake District 🇬🇧. That is the Grasmere with Helm Crag in the background during a lucky break in the clouds.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay is about #lunchtime. I watched this coot dive for tasty sea weed in the Roskilde harbour, next to the Vikingeskibsmuseet.

Today, @alan678.bsky.social wants to see #birds perched on a #rock or with a #longbeak. I have a razorbill standing watch above the rough seas just off the shore of Lundy 🇬🇧, perfectly capturing the raw beauty of that little island.

I had a visitor last week, and as is customary, all visitors in my flat agree to pose for photoshoots. Luckily this little night moth did not have any problems sitting still. Just look at those magnificent eyelashes!
