Welcome

... on my website and have fun browsing the picture galleries.
Visit the world of nature photography.

If somebody sees something on his raids which is impressive and raised, he pauses in a devout silence for a moment. For him it isn't necessary to hallow one of seven days because for him every day is sacred.

Mammal photos - The newest pics from mammels, 27 Oct 2020

After the Red Deer hind has swum slowly through a pond and reaches the opposite pond bank a short time later, it lures with quiet tones the calf that is waiting in the reeds out of its hiding place

Unbelievable, after 20 years I managed to photograph my first real Danish European Hare

Another herd of Red Deers with a brocket walks through the pond, the absence of calves is striking

Playfully the Red Deer calves follow the hinds through the partly deep water

Red Squirrels belong like the bears to the plantigrade - (Eurasian Red Squirrel - Photo Red Squirrel on the trunk of an oak tree)

Red Squirrels can easily bridge distances of 4 - 5 meters with one jump - (Eurasian Red Squirrel - Photo Red Squirrel with a freshly plucked walnut)

Finally, the last Red Fox pictures have been processed, along with a large proportion of other predators and rodents. Among them also photos of European Hares in the mating season.

Helge wishes you a lot of fun viewing the images.

Images of the Red Deer rut 2019, 25 Oct 2020

Despite a broken off antler, this Red Deer stag has acquired an impressive headdress from reed stems

A Red Deer stag with beautiful dark and evenly shaped antlers carefully enters the aisle and I am amazed at the large number of different stags that appear in front of my camera that day

In large herds it comes again and again to differences, by the Red Deer this often happens by the giving out punches with the front legs, here impressively presented by 2 brockets

After a few minutes the first Red Deers signal the herd that it is time to move on

After a long night in the rut, this Red Deer stag migrates into a stock of young larch trees and here he will recover from the strains of the night and will collect new strength

This Red Deer stag is in the best constitution and some spruce trees have to suffer under his excess strength

With a delay of more than a year, finally the photos of the Red Deer rut 2019 are online. The result of the first location is rather low in terms of the number of good motives. Nevertheless, I am happy about the pictures, because they give some intimate insights into the mostly secret life of this species. Now also the pictures of the second location are online. The amount of pictures is manageable, but as a result of only one day of photography it is quite satisfying. Now also the photos of the third and last location are finished and therefore the pictures of the rutting season 2020 will follow soon.

Bird photos - New pictures from our flying friends, 22 Oct 2020

The European Robin has played an important role in the discovery and scientific recognition of the magnetism of migratory birds - (Robin Redbreast - Photo European Robin in Saxony)

Tawny Owl, the incubation lasts between 28 to 30 days - (Eurasian Tawny Owl - Photo Tawny Owl rufous brown morph in the entrance of a tree hole)

Tawny Owl, the territory is defended year-round - (Eurasian Tawny Owl - Photo Suspiciously observes the Tawny Owl the photographer, whether he knows that he was discovered)

Tawny Owl, the typical lifespan is 5 years in the wild - (Brown Owl - Photo For a short moment the Tawny Owl is illuminated by the morning sun)

A Sanderling in juvenile plumage stands resting on the beach

Besides a large number of new pheasant pictures, other bird species have been added. Among others the Sanderling is worth mentioning. A small wader that constantly walks along the beach and reminds of a rolling tennis ball. Camera manufacturers should not test the performance of their autofocus systems on sports cars or similar, but on this little bird. If the autofocus is correct 10 times at 100 frames it is acceptable. Besides the usual telephoto lens images I also used a telephoto zoom of 150-600 focal length, because I wanted to take pictures of the animals with the approaching surf. I had great luck in Upper Lusatia. In an old oak tree I could discover the tree hole of a Tawny Owl. I had to take the chance and so I got some very nice motives on two days.

Roe Deer photos - Our least deer species is one of my favorite photo subjects, 19 Oct 2020

In spite of good wind and camouflage, the Roebuck becomes aware of me, fortunately he quickly loses interest and continues to eat calmly

An old acquaintance, already 5 days before I was able to photograph the Roebuck in this part of the district

Many years such a motive stood on my wish list and finally this Roebuck could fulfill my dream

On this photo you can see how colourful a heath can be and the Roebuck integrates wonderfully into the picture with his coat colour

While the Roe Deer doe looks attentively the fawn is suckled

Unexpected encounter with a Roe Deer fawn in a forest, the astonishment was on both sides at that moment

The Roe Deer photography is one of my favorites. At first pics from the behaviour and otherwise many photos from different bucks are my target, too.

Scenery photographs from Germany - New pictures from german nature landscapes, 23 Aug 2020

This part of the forest was taken out of use years ago and is now a so-called natural forest left to itself, no sawed off tree stumps disturb the view, it is just beautiful when man stops his destructive activities

Young Common Beeches can form real thickets, these also offer good cover to larger forest wildlife like Roe Deers and Wild Boars

There are a few new landscape pictures and I hope that I can work on the still unprocessed images in the coming weeks.

Since years I search fossils. Certainly more by the way happenstance. The last time I´am looking more intensive and found some fossilisations. As a addict photograph, I have the target to present the discoveries in good photos.
