| Too tired to go out today, so I'll just post some pics from a few weeks back, when the weather was still rather bad. I've wanted to use them for #featheredfriday, recently hosted by @melinda010100, for a while now, but always forgot. | War heute zu müde, um rauszugehen, also hole ich mal ein paar etwas älter Bilder hervor. Damals war das Wetter noch ziemlich mies. Da es hauptsächlich um Vögel geht, wollte ich sie schon eine Weile für den #featheredfriday von @melinda010100 nutzen, aber vergaß es immer wieder. |

| That day I got a bit lucky, although the weather was poor. The swallows were out en masse to collect mud for building nests. There had been a water leak for a few days near the coast & therefore the ground was soft enough for the swallows to use it. | An dem Tag hatte ich ein bißchen Glück, obwohl das Wetter schlecht war. Schwalben waren massenhaft unterwegs, um Schlamm für den Nestbau zu sammeln. In der Nähe der Küste hatte es ein Wasserleck gegeben, so daß sich recht weicher Schlamm bilden konnte. |

| They were so busy that they didn't care too much about humans in the vicinity. & because the muddy part was a rather small area, it was easier than usual to even get them in flight. | Die Schwalben waren so beschäftigt, daß sie sich kaum um die dort befindlichen Menschen kümmerten. & da der schlammige Bereich nicht allzu groß war, war es einfacher als sonst, sie sogar im Flug zu fotografieren. |

| Of course, there were other birds around as well. This little flycatcher (I think) wasn't sure about me. | Natürlich waren auch andere Vögel unterwegs. Dieser kleine Fliegenschnäpper (vermute ich) war nicht sicher, was er von mir halten sollte. |

| "Definitely looking at me!" | "Der stiert wirklich auf mich!" |

| "Still looking at me! What a creep. Let's scram." | "Immer noch. Was für ein Freak. Mache besser die Fliege." |

| A hooded crow had found something to eat. Not sure what, though: | Eine Nebelkrähe hatte was zu futtern gefunden. Bin aber nicht sicher, was: |

| The sea was quiet, but under grey clouds. Pretty depressing view. | Das Meer war ruhig, aber unter grauen Wolken. Verbreitete eher schlechte Stimmung. |

| Strangely enough, some boats were out there, anyway. | Seltsamerweise waren trotzdem einige Boote unterwegs. |

| Friday's almost over already, so that should be it for now. Just some more pics: | Freitag ist schon fast vorbei, also soll's das gewesen sein. Nur noch ein paar Bilder: |

Dear @bossel;
One thing that I found common in Steemit German community, is that most of German's writer post in two language. I really like this style! Now let's head to your lens and post!
I'm not going in order, So in landscape photos, I really enjoyed the last one, specially that boat far far away... Nice composition.
The ants photo also is so bright and sharp, kinda catches my eye!
And of birds photo, I really enjoyed this photo and also it's naration;
Nice Post, keep up the good work ♥
Thank you!
The German steemit community is rather small, so there is quite some motivation for German writers to do it bilingually.
You got some great shots of the birds and I like the one of the crow. They are scavengers so it could be almost anything in its beak.
Thanks.
At first I thought it looked like a young mouse, but it doesn't seem to be. Really hard to tell.
hi @bossel
I find your post very nice !! and fun with your "conversations with those guys !! beautiful photos, thanks for sharing
Thanks!
Beautiful pictures. I loved the 4th one. It captures the elegance and amazing plumage of the swallow. Beautiful colors.
What kinds of ants were those. they look both scary and yummy :)
their heads and butts look like some kind of black/blue berry
Thanks.
Sorry, but I'm not an expert on ants. It could be a messor species, perhaps messor capitatus. They are ubiquitous here in Patras. The big ones can be around 1cm in length.
Great shot! especially the ants. Do you have to lay on the ground to capture that?
Thanks.
No, in that case I just used the normal zoom lens. & this has a minimal distance of 21 cm, anyway.
I see, it was pretty up close, so that's why I asked.
What a bunch of great pictures, I actually never seen swallows gathering mud for their nests before, I'm glad to see it, you have a really cool collection of pictures showing the biodiversity of a small location, all of the really nice! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks!
You have to be lucky. They only do it on a few days & (unless you're a zoologist, I suppose) you don't really know when & where.
What a great selection of birds! The swallows are beautiful. Interesting to see them taking advantage of that bit of mud to find nest building material . And of course I love that crow! Cool shot of the ants, too! Thanks for using the #featheredfriday tag!
Thanks!
Actually, mud might be a real problem for them near the coast. Most of the ground there is too coarse to serve as building material.
very beautiful your photos in movement, it's hard for me to get out that way because they come out very blurry or do not come out at all great, congratulations!!!
Thanks!
It's a matter of camera, lens & light. & you need some luck &/or endurance. Sometimes it takes dozens of pictures to get one right.
Thanks for using eSteem!

Alle Vögelfotos sind exzellent! Aber das Foto mit so vielen Ameisen macht mich krank...
Weichei. Konzentrier Dich auf die Komposition von Steinen, Ameisen & Farben.
Nein danke, aber das mache ich nicht. Möchte mir das Foto nicht nochmals anschauen.
Übrigens, ist der Satz richtig? Oder man sagt "möchte nicht mir das Foto nochmals anschauen"? Wo soll das "nicht" stehen?
Der Originalsatz war richtig, der 2. Versuch nicht. Auch möglich wäre: "Möchte mir nicht das Foto nochmal (besser ohne s) anschauen." Aber die 1. Version ist die übliche.
Weißt du was, ganz am Anfang hatte ich "Möchte mir das Foto nicht nochmal anschauen" geschrieben. Dann hatte ich mir 2-3 Sekunden überlegt und ein "s" hinzugefügt. Nach ca. 30 Sekunden wurde ich nicht sicher mit dem "nicht". Im Endeffekt war doch meine Intuition richtig.
Danke.
