A group of 5 egyptian geese younglings in black and white. One individual in the center of the picture, is separated visually, but still surrounded by its siblings.
Shot of the sky. Several layers of clouds in the sky chaotically show quite dark patches, very golden, almost burning patches and a few hints of a blue sky.
In a river a light rock stands out on which a cormorant stands. It has just defecated, the stream of excrement just hit the water.
On the ground are acorns or at least their shells, brown-beige overall with small strands of green. This is lit by patchy sunlight. A barnacle goose gosling is half in the light, half in the shade, searching for something to eat.
Grey image, mostly devoid of color. A rather calm surface of water. A grey heron just cleared the water and flies. The bird is fully reflected with very little distortion.

A forest floor with fresh green, patches of light and a fallen stem behind a jay just having launched into flight.
Lightning across a dark sky.
Black image with many bright spots and streaks. Rain drops lit by a flash.
On short, green grass, between grey structures, a male blackbird with two worms in its beak.
On short green grass a female blackbird with a worm in its beak.
Cloudy sky, the sun hides behind a layer of yellow-brownish cover. To the bottom right a single crow sits on a naked branch. Just silhouettes.
In a bushy environment a thin branch goes horizontally through the picture. Right in the middle, quite close, a great tit is perched.
A greylag goose young on short grass. Patches of bright sunlight illuminate the grass and the bird. It is seen from its left side, its right foot is in the air, mid-stride. The feathers are still in the making, giving the bird a very rough look with strands sticking out everywhere.
Portrait orientation picture. Foreground is brightly lit, short grass. Background is brown/green water. The picture is all male mallard. The bird stands with its body toward the camera, the head is turned way to its left, so that we see its right side.
A european goldfinch sits on one of a pair of wires. They go from two thirds of the height of the picture from the left to bottom right. They are almost just black. The bird is pictured from below and front-right, being decently lit. The background is mainly white clouds with patches of blue sky.
A male eurasian blackbird with its beak open, sitting on a branch, which is partly covered in ivy. background is very blurry with greens, warm browns and light blues.
A wood pigeon sits on roof tiling, body mainly pointed to our left, from where the sunlight comes. It's head turned to its left so that it stares right into the lens.
A female blackbird sits on the ground, surrounded by grass and forest detritus. It stands facing away from the camera and looks toward us over its right shoulder.
A male blackbird sits somewhat hidden on a small branch in a bush. The face is partly hidden by the branch. The bird surrounded by green leaves with patches of direct sunlight
Head shot of a cormorant, pictured from its right side. The sun is low and warm.
A starling is perched on a branch, showing us its back. The feathers are ruffled while its preening.
A crow bathing in shallow river water. In front of the crow is water, in the background a sandy river bank with several twiggly plants. The crow has most of its feathers out of place thanks to cleaning in progress.
A soft picture of a marigold bloom from the side. The background is blurry deep to dark green. A piece of the stem can be seen.
Three greylag goose younglings and one parent. The young ones are eating grass. It's low grass on the ground with quite some daisies on it. The background is a wood fence with foliage.
The head of a barnacle goose. It looks straight into the camera. There is virtually nothing else in this picture. The background is a very bright beige, some darker things are hinted at at the top of the frame and the lower left.
In a shallow part of a river two canada geese are standing. One roughly facing the camera, another showing its backside. This backside is full of water flowing over the feathers back into the river.
Over a river surface, a white wagtail hunts for an insect. The feathers are spread for agility and control. The bird's head is locked on the target.

Surface of a water basin. Reflected in it a leafy tree, out of focus, a stainless steel faucet, generally in focus. The surface is mostly calm, except for a ring of tiny waves, disturbing the reflection of the faucet. Looking like they come from the reflected faucet, seemingly 4 drops suspended in the air, impossible to tell which is reflected or captured directly. The drops are falling toward the surface and will cause another set of tiny waves.
Secretive look at a grey heron. Between green leaves in the blurry foreground is an opening allowing a view of a jetty in a river. On this jetty a grey heron is perched, mostly hidden by the leaves. The head and left should is visible, lit from its behind, our right.
The background is a featureless sky, tinted in dystopian yellow-ish. The foreground are 4 power lines going more or less in parallel from top left to bottom right. The cables are lit by a low sun, making them look like they're glowing with heat.
In featureless blue sky 7 cormorants fly in a group. Of those 5 form something like a line going from top left of the picture to the bottom right.
Low sun from the left, the ground is a riverbed, mostly dried dirty rocks. The background is the surface of a river reflecting a blue sky. To the left an egyptian goose, to the right of it 4 goslings. A number of feathers on the goose are upright, as the wind tries to blow them away.
A black swan stands in shallow river water, with a tiny wave breaking at the bottom of the picture. The bird is in sleep mode, all set for comfort and warmth. The bird stands with its back to the camera, the beak is tucked in, facing towards the camera. The left eye, red, is open, staring at the viewer.
A bare branch with a lot of twigs. Diffuse sunlight on the branch. Almost to the very left and the very right a great tit sits, both looking to the left.
Short, green grass, apparently in the shadows with a few spots lit by sunlight. A single female blackbird stands, the head turned upward.
On sunny, short grass a magpie walks from right to left, in the middle of a stride. It closes in on a stone grave border, looking for food. In the background another stone grave border with what appears to be a bonsai on it. Various flowers and implements, typical for a cemetary, can be seen.
A crow stand on a metal handrail. The bird is seen from its right side. The background are bushes with fresh green turning into almost white sky in the upper right corner.
A barnacle goose seen from its right side. The left foot is set before the right, the bird is in the middle of a stride. A very young gosling stands in the background. The upper third of the background is short grass, the lower is strewn with rosy blooms.
Dark picture, dark mood. On short grass, in focus, a wood pigeon looks is seen from behind, walking. In the not too far distance, out of focus, a male blackbird stands. Nothing else in the picture. The pigeon seems to have locked its eyes on the blackbird, creating the image that the pigeon might approach with blackbird with ill intent.
A natural pond in the shades. The water is rather agitated. In the center are two mute swans during procreation. The male grips the females neck with its beak.
On an overcast day, a sandy river beach with pieces of bleached wood and a rope going horizontally. Two crows are fighting, one lies on its back while the other attacks with wings spread.
Bild des sogenannten Dioskurentempels in hellem Sonnenschein. Der Himmel ist blassblau. Im Vordergrund liegen Sandsteinblöcke, auf einem Sandsteinpodest stehen 4 dorische Säulen, die eine Ecke der Dachkonstruktion tragen. Im Hintergrund rechts die Stadt Agrigent in der Ferne.
On short, green grass a greylag goose gosling lays spread out, the left leg is stretched as far back as possible. Behind it is another gosling, sitting in a normal fashion. A pice of a third gosling is seen on the right of the picture. Both goslings have first feathers on their wings an stubbles of growing feathers.
On short, green grass a barnacle goose sits, facing the camera. The left wing is lifted, as a gosling pushes under it. The behind of the youngling is visible.
A canada goose sits in water. It had just put its neck completely into the water to splash it over its own back. The water just started splashing, covering a third of the back at this moment.
A little ringed plover flies over quite calm waters. The wings are spread quite wide. The water surface reflects the coast in warm evening light as well as a rather blue sky. In the sky portion the bird is reflected with just a bit of distortion.
Two canada geese perched on a light colored stone. In the background a river, reflecting light blue sky on its surface. The geese stand with their left side to the camera, behind each other. The one in the foreground is further to the right than the one in the back. The one in front does maintenance on one feather while the one in the back cleans its breast.
Two mute swans standing in shallow river water. The background is light blue sky reflected in the slightly agitated surface. The birds stand staggered behind each other, showing their left side to the camera. Both have their beaks in their wing feathers for preening. They mirror each other. The light comes from rather low to the right, lighting their backs and behinds in almost gold, leaving the shadow side a blue from the reflected sun. The lit behinds light up the water below them, giving it a warm glow.
Close up on a crow, full body pictured. The bird is mostly front to the camera. In its beak is a cooked piece of chicken breast, twice the width of the crows head. Its left foot is placed firmly on a rock, the right one is stretched out in stride to be placed on another rock. Rock and background are rather brightly lit brown.
Standing in shallow river water, a group of four mute swans are preening. The birds generally face the camera. Each bird has its neck in different stretched positions.
Rather calm surface of a river, the blue sky is reflected in it, some rocks are visible. There are several places in a row in the surface where the egyptian goose stepped on the surface of the water launching into flight.
Sitting on short grass a greylag goose warms its goslings under the left wing. Several goslings are protected by their parent, but one has its head sticking out before the wing, tiredly closed its eyes.
A purplish sky, framed left and right by leafed branches. In the middle is the moon, quite full, shining bright, beige tinted.
A red kite in blue sky, seen from below. The bird flies from left to right and has its wings spread wide.
A blue sky with thin streaks of clouds. The left third is dominated by a rock lit in low reddish light, strewn with trees. At the right third of the width of the image the moon stands out a bit against the sky.
A blue butterfly in between leaves. It's partly covered and only parts are sharp.
A wood sandpiper sits in shallow water, surrounded by wet rocks similar in their brown tone.
