Moorland views.

Had a lovely walk up at Bodmin moor today, dodging the rain showers and narrowly missing being struck by lightening.

Was so lovely to see so many birds and animals up there, and came away feeling super chilled.

I feel incredible lucky having all these incredible views on our door step ❤️

These are just a selection of the many shots I took today, I hope you enjoy them 🙂

🇺🇸: The willow warbler (Phylloscopus trochilus) is a songbird species in the leaf warbler family (Phylloscopidae). The willow warbler is a small passerine bird, measuring 11–13 cm in length. It appears slender compared to many other warblers and has a fine, pointed beak and relatively long wings. Its distribution area covers most of temperate and subarctic Europe and Asia, with wintering grounds in sub-Saharan Africa. Like other leaf warblers, the willow warbler is primarily insectivorous. Its diet focuses on small insects and spiders. Occasionally, it also eats berries and other soft plant material.

🇩🇪: Der Fitis (Phylloscopus trochilus) ist eine Singvogelart aus der Familie der Laubsänger (Phylloscopidae). Der Fitis ist ein kleiner Sperlingsvogel von 11–13 cm Körperlänge. Er wirkt im Vergleich zu vielen anderen Laubsängern zierlich und besitzt einen feinen, spitzen Schnabel sowie relativ lange Flügel. Das Verbreitungsgebiet umfasst weite Teile der gemäßigten und subarktischen Zonen Europas und Asiens, die Winterquartiere liegen südlich der Sahara in Afrika. Wie auch andere Laubsänger ist der Fitis vorwiegend Insektenfresser. Der Schwerpunkt des Nahrungsspektrums liegt auf kleinen Insekten und Spinnen. Gelegentlich frisst er auch Beeren und andere weiche Pflanzenteile.

The Titmouse Speaks

This is an intriguing image of a tufted titmouse (Baeolophus bicolor). I can’t tell if it’s singing or complaining. Then again, if it were complaining, I suppose it would still count as singing.

Tufted titmice are a favorite among a select group of bird enthusiasts. To celebrate these charming creatures, I’ve curated a special collection dedicated entirely to them in my photo gallery. Take a look!

In how many #languages do you know the name of your favorite #bird?

I'm struggling with all the different names.

I'm German. I live in Flanders. I write in English. I'm a scientist. Thus, I would love to know my birds in German, Dutch, English, and Latin.

I have my field guides set up. But where and how to begin!? 😬

Let's start with my favourite:
Eisvogel. Ijsvogel. Common #kingfisher. Alcedo atthis.

OK, only 999 to go! 😅
