The Garden of Charles B

[Charles B]

I just discovered my Xiaomi Redme 11 has a camera setting 'HDR/A' which is 50 MB high deffinition! Oh, well better late than never.

Anyway here is my first photo with this setting at a distance of 4 meters to my side of the bed. It is nice to see the Great Tit and Blue Tit partaking of the bird bath in total peace instead of fighting.



I'm sitting here bandaging my left thumb after a kitchen accident cutting up cererly for this evening's Spaghetti sauce. A welcomed break for bird watching.

PS: Also see my new posting at the end of page 1.

The Backbirds have returned!
I only saw one Blackbird so far the entire year because the Usutu Virus killed them all off last October. But my wife just reported that when she goes to work at the hospital at 4:45 in the morning in the total darkness she sees Blackbirds already active around our street and bus stop although the sky is pitch black. Of course there are street lights, residential and industrial lighting plus traffic to navigate by. Oddly enough they never come to the back yard anymore where our garden and balcony are. The Magpies are also seltener lately. And the Ravens have moved to our town square (very fitting as it's totally dead there ).

That virus is over here spreading from the southeast of the country.

Sorry to hear that!!! And the H5N1 'Bird Flu' has just hit poultry flocks here in Schleswig - Holstein again.
