A brightly colored kingfisher with turquoise-blue head and wings and a vivid orange chest sits on a thin branch among dense brown shrubs, facing left in warm sunlight.

A small kingfisher perched on a branch among tangled twigs and early spring buds, its blue head and orange body sharply visible against the muted brown background. Picture is a bit more zoomed in as compared to the one before.

Same kingfisher with blue and orange plumage perched on a branch, looking downward as if scanning for prey, surrounded by thin branches and sparse fresh green leaves.

Finally managed to photograph my first Viennese #Kingfisher. 📸

Took me years of #birdnoticing and the photos could definitely have turned out better – but at least the mystery is solved now. I finally know where to look.

I’ll be back. 🐦

Two tufted ducks land on a calm pond, wings spread and feet touching the water, splashing as several other tufted ducks float nearby.

A great egret stands motionless at the edge of a pond among dry reeds and branches, while several tufted ducks swim in the foreground.

Four tufted ducks swim across still water, their black heads and white flanks reflected faintly on the surface.

A male tufted duck with a visible head tuft raises its head and calls on calm greenish water while another duck drifts nearby.

Spring is in the air, and I finally had time again to do some #birdnoticing.
Tufted ducks everywhere – and one very elegant #egret. 🦆

A little egret stands in shallow water, bending its long neck down to fish - or just to look at its own reflection, who really knows? -, its white body reflected clearly in the calm surface. Behind it, dense green and reddish marsh plants line the shore.

A little egret perches on low marsh vegetation at the lagoon’s edge, standing tall and alert against a backdrop of blue water.

A little egret in mid-flight, wings wide and legs trailing, takes off over the water near the lagoon’s vegetation.

A little egret flies low over the water, wings tucked, while in the foreground - but out of focus - a dark cormorant perches upright on a bare branch.

Yeah, still not done with this thread.
No good #birdnoticing session without a #heron – in this case the slimmer cousin, the #LittleEgret (#Seidenreiher). Always elegant – or at least trying to be –, whether wading, fishing, or in flight. #Birds 🪶

Kann ich nachvollziehen. #birdnoticing ist sehr erkenntnisreich. Schön zu hören, wer rundherum so zwitschert

Bin tatsächlich auch 2020 auf die 🪶 gekommen. Als ich plötzlich bemerkt habe, wie viel Biodiversität allein an 🐦‍⬛ bei mir mitten in der 🌇 lebt - 16 unterschiedliche Arten habe ich mittlerweile gezählt.
Seither neue 📸 & neues Tele gekauft. Nichts entschleunigt mehr als #Birdnoticing. @birdlife.at

A white adult swan swims beside a grey cygnet, with two more young swans in the background. The adult’s neck is gracefully curved as it looks down toward the cygnet beside it.

A single fluffy white cygnet floats alone on calm green water, its head tilted gently to the side. Water lilies and reflections surround it.

A white adult swan follows a grey cygnet closely across the water. The cygnet paddles ahead near the bottom of the frame, while the adult swan is in soft focus behind it, surrounded by green reeds.

A sleeping male mallard duck in the foreground, while out-of-focus swans and cygnets float peacefully in the background. Aquatic plants fill the shallow water.

That’s a wrap on this week’s bird content – hope you liked it! Let’s see what the coming weeks bring, depending on how much time I find for some #BirdNoticing in and around #Vienna.

Three fluffy cygnets floating close together on calm green water, with a white adult swan blurred in the foreground. One cygnet stretches its neck upward curiously.

Close-up of two cygnets swimming side by side. The cygnet in the foreground has darker grey feathers and a long, upright neck, while the one behind is fluffier and lighter in color.

Two cygnets swimming toward the camera, their reflections clearly mirrored in the water. The one in front has pale down and a direct gaze, the one behind is darker and slightly peeking over.

Two cygnets moving in a line through the water, the front one white and fluffy with wings slightly lifted, the second darker, looking to the side.

Some mornings just call for birds. Honestly, there’s no better way to begin a day – especially in weeks like these. 🦢 #Swans #Cygnets #Birds #BirdNoticing 🪶

A grey heron stands tall on a slanted tree branch protruding from the water, surrounded below by a group of sunbathing turtles resting on a log in a calm, greenish pond.

A close-up of a grey heron in full flight against a clear blue sky, wings outstretched and beak open, showcasing its aerodynamic form.

I also really have to say that #GreyHerons also are among the birds that remind me the most of dinosaurs. 🦖
So much BDE (big dinosaur energy) in these pictures. Sorry, I couldn’t resist the joke. #Birds #BirdContent #BirdContent #BirdNoticing 🪶

Two grey herons stand closely together on a log in a tranquil pond. Picture composition makes it look like one is gently touching the other’s beak.

A grey heron in mid-flight with wings fully spread, soaring gracefully against a backdrop of dense green foliage.

A grey heron lands on the top of a leafy tree, its wings outstretched and legs trailing behind as it slowly sets.

Two grey herons stand on separate logs in a still, greenish pond. One faces the camera while the other looks away, both reflected in the water’s surface.

There’s also always something grounding about watching #GreyHerons just be – calm, patient, majestic. #Birds #BirdContent #BirdNoticing 🪶

Grateful to my colleagues—@MarieHermanova, @matous_pilnacek, & Martin Spurný—for the invititation to present my research on mis- & disinfo at the @CzechAcademy!

Looking forward to continued idea-sharing ahead!💡

Plus, I managed to sneak in some #birdnoticing while in #Prague.🦆

It’s not surprising that the #Pūteketeke got to be #MewZealand‘s bird of the century. Here is its European cousin swimming in a small pond in Vienna. #Wienerbergteich #Birdnoticing #GreatCrestedGrebe #MondayBirds 🪶

Bin ich der einzige der bisher nicht bemerkt hat, dass das IPhone eine eigene Bird-Erkennungs-Ai hat? 😱
Hat da schon wer mehr Erfahrung damit? Gerade durch Zufall entdeckt. #BirdNoticing

Hey @TorontoPearson, this little guy as well as a sparrow seem stuck at the #Airport - last seen in the waiting area next to E79. Hope you find a way to get them back out safely! #BirdNoticing

Inspiring conversations, amazing presentations, & a lot of friendly faces. On my way back from #ICA23 - but not before doing a bit of #BirdNoticing in #Toronto. 🇨🇦

Blackbird couple: We're like a well-oiled machine when it comes to feeding our four chicks with worms on a rainy Sunday.
Chicks: [burp] Can't argue with that. #BirdNoticing

Being on sick leave right now, I finally have the time to do some #BirdNoticing again. Not a regular around my balcony while it's cold, to my pleasant surprise, the pair Eurasian collared doves has dropped by. #FlauschTheCurve #Birdwatching

Talking about cute, how about the new woodpecker youngling? There is actually two of them this year. Couldn't get the second one on camera yet, though. Chillin' with a blackbird youngling here. #Birdwatching #Birdnoticing #FlauschTheCurve
