Dear Steemians
This is my first entry to #animalphotography in #photocontests by @juliank.
I took these photos in spring on a farm not far from my home. At this farm one can always find a large number of birds of prey, but also pigeons. I haven't been able to find out if the birds of prey are there because of the pigeons. I always observed a peaceful coexistence, the expected hunting scenes were missing. Probably the pigeons wouldn't be here either, if they were the main food of the grabs.
If, however, the fields around the farm are ploughed, then comes live in the feathered community, then the sky is full of milans, buzzards and so on, who then look out for the terrified inhabitants of the earth and of course have to book some hunting successes.
The red kite on the photos showed a lot of interest in me. Was it the camera with the big tele zoom? I don't know what was so charming about me that day. But as he kept circling over me, I was able to take some nice pictures of him. I hope you like these ones.
Liebe Steemians
Dies ist mein erster Eintrag bei #animalphotography in #photocontests von @juliank.
Ich machte die Fotos im Frühling auf einem Bauernhof, unweit von meinem Haus. An diesem Hof ist immer eine große Anzahl an Greifvögeln, aber auch Tauben anzutreffen. Ich konnte noch nicht herausfinden, ob die Greifvögel wegen der Tauben dort sind. Ich beobachtete immer ein friedliches Nebeneinander, die erwarteten Jagdszenen blieben aus. Wahrscheinlich wären die Tauben auch nicht hier, wenn sie die Hauptnahrungsmittel der Greifer wären.
Wenn allerdings die Felder um den Hof gepflügt werden, dann kommt leben in die gefiederte Gemeinschaft, dann ist der Himmel voll von Milanen, Bussarden und Co, welche dann nach den aufgeschreckten Erdbewohnern Ausschau halten und natürlich auch manchen Jagderfolg zu verbuchen haben.
Der Rotmilan auf den Fotos zeigte reges Interesse an mir. War es die Kamera mit dem großen Tele-Zoom? Ich weiss es nicht, was an mir so reizvoll war an diesem Tag. Da er aber ständig und immer wieder über mir kreiste, konnte ich einige schöne Bilder von ihm schiessen. Ich hoffe, diese gefallen Euch!
Take care of yourselves,
Yours, Patrick
Passt auf Euch auf,
Euer Patrick

Wieder Klasse, 800 mm wären noch feiner gewesen...? :) Ich probiere es noch mal mit dem Sorgenkind, Du hast aber Recht, zuverlässig ist der nicht.

Ich glaube es nicht! Originalworks "works again" :)
Vielen Dank! Ja, 800mm wären schon toll, aber dann wird es schon schwierig scharfe Bilder, zum Teil fast senkrecht nach oben, zu schiessen. Die hier sind freihändig aufgenommen, das wäre mit dem 800er nicht mehr möglich. Mein 400er FX-Objektiv ist ja an meiner DX-Kamera durch den Crop-Faktor eigentlich auch schon ein 600er.

Ja, vermutlich hätte es bei so einem riesigen Objektiv schon eine Schelle und Stativ gebraucht und Feuer frei im Serienbildmodus :) Sind aber trotzdem gut geworden.
Ja, das Sorgenkind hat pariert, keine Ahnung was er gelegentlich hat. Vielleicht braucht er auch mal ein Upvote? Bekommt er sofort...

Ich vote ihn eigentlich immer up, denn es braucht ja auch ein wenig voting power um ständig aktiv zu sein. Kann sogar sein, dass das Teil des Problems war.
Dir noch einen wunderschönen Tag! :)

Könntest glatt Recht haben, so riesig viel SP hat er noch nicht, dann werden wir ihn auch öfter mal upvoten :)
Dir auch und bis neulich.

Patrick your pictures are very interesting. These flying birds are usually found at high altitude and difficult to photograph.
But you made great photos. I liked them very much.

You are right! I've put it in first position. First I only wanted to post that photo, then I thought, it would be better to put some more photos of the beautiful bird into that post.
A nice weekend to you as well! :)
