    They are back

    The females arrive later. I returned home @ half past four today, switched on my laptop, looked for the Manton Bay nest cam, saw the first egg and them mating at 3:45 pm your time. 🤗

    Remnants

    reminds me of a TV joke called "The noodle" by the famous German comedian Loriot in 1977. Unfortunately, there is no English version available. Only a review with English subtitles @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etUuat3hN2o

    Please ID help on this one

    Maybe Common whitethroat ? I had wonderful morning birding with a common redstart, a male whinchat and this one today. Guess the pics allow an ID. Thank you for your support. Captured today in Munich.

    Red-backed shrike

    First sighting 31st of July. Last sighting 26th of August. I believe the shrike left because the sparrowhawk showed up more often last week. Almost sad but the species is migratory.
