That’s one way of doing it. I mean, the weather was fine, so why not? The movie was so-so. German post-war sports drama. Not bad, but tried to squeeze too many themes into 2 hours

Damaged gas pipe in my district, meaning at the moment I can’t get home, as all train services have been cancelled. Off to the cinema then, hopefully in 2 hours they’ll have shut everything off and cleared the station to reopen. If not… another movie? 🤷‍♀️

Started checking yesterday's pictures, and to my surprise, one of those "camera can't focus automatically because it's way too dark, so let me just snap a few manually, hoping for the best" pictures from the kiwi house actually turned out reasonably well, even after having to denoise it heavily.

That was a fun day. So many fascinating and weird #birds at Weltvogelpark Walsrode. The kiwi was a bit tough to spot, as most of the time it kept hidden at the back of its enclosure. Was way darker in there than it looks here.

Got to feed the penguins (okay, throw them fish from the other side of the wall, but still 😍). @ Weltvogelpark Walsrode
Three Humboldt penguins swimming, only their heads and necks above the waterline. Two of the birds are out of focus in the background, the third, front left, is stretching its neck forward, beak half open

For 3 years, my public transport ticket has updated automatically in my wallet. Not this month. Which is fun when you run into a control, then need 10 minutes to find the stupid app and log in to update manually. At least now I remember where to find it again.

Wasn’t going to do this this week, but set an alarm after all. On my way to Weltvogelpark Walsrode (bird park). School holidays haven’t started yet, and it’s a weekday, so I’m hoping for a rather quiet visit there.

Schreib mir aber morgen früh gern noch, ob du dich auf den Weg machst. Falls ich um 10 schon da bin weiß ich dann, ob ich eher was kurzes oder was längeres auf den Tisch hole . Nicht dass du um 11 ankommst und ich noch 2 Stunden in einer Partie festhänge 🫣

Today's #BirdOfTheDay is #BestBeaks per @helenbennett.bsky.social Celebrating any bird with a beak or bill that has striking colours, bold profiles, or an interesting shape. The chopstick-like shape of an ibis beak is perfect for stabbing and plucking delicacies out of the mud. #birds #ECK
Glossy ibis amid greenery with a morsel plucked from mud in a marsh poised between its beak before a tilt of the head upwards to swallow it

For Helen's #BirdOfTheDay of #BestBeaks, here's a laughing gull that got a little crazy with the lipstick. 😀 #Photography #Birds #Gulls
A single gull in profile fills the bottom of the frame, with a white body giving way to a black head with a bright red beak and small white highlights above and below the one visible eye.  Background is blurry greens and yellows with a cluster white bokeh in the upper left corner.

The shoebill might not have the most colourful beak, but it looks darn impressive #bestbeaks #BirdofTheDay #birds

Looking at the forecast, I think I'll do another birding walk tomorrow. Need to make the most of what looks like the last of the really sunny days for a bit, varying amounts of rain are predicted from Thursday on

Overall a quiet birding morning, but since my first sighting of the day were three cranes, I honestly can’t complain about everything that (didn’t) follow afterwards

On my way to hopefully shoot more pictures and/or spot a few rarer local birds at a place that often has good sightings. Meanwhile, here’s one for #BirdOfTheDay #Bokehbirds
