Blackbird

Blackbird

A blackbird (Turdus merula) sitting safe in the blackthorn bushes, where else. Singing its loud melodic tune for a spring mate. This little bird has adapted to live close to humans and are therefore common in urban places. Found all over Europe but also in south east Australia.

Put your shorts on and sing along, back in black. Ha de Gött!

Common Crane

Common Crane

A pair seeking food in the wet grass, keeping a close watch of the photographer. The common crane (Grus grus) is large bird with long legs and neck to be able to seek food in shallow waters. Usually they gather in large flocks during spring for their mating dance. Guess these two skipped that part.

Then they fly off, ha de Gött!

Spring Winter

Spring Winter

roaring in dark skies
on chariots from north
roams the night
biting frost and cold
King Frost

allied with the sun
carried by bird song
shyly takes the day
gentle warmth and light
Princess Spring

melts winter away 

There is time for everything and there is a time for everything, ha de Gött!
