🌊 Ruddy Turnstone on the island of Düne.
A small bird that loves rocks, sea, and wind – a true master of camouflage.

A ghost of the twilight — the Barn Owl resting among heather blooms. 🦉🌸
Its pale feathers melt into the fading light, a moment of silence before the hunt begins.

Predator and prey, captured in a single frame.
Ferruginous Pygmy Owl – tiny but fierce – with its catch, a European robin. 🦉🪶

🐾 The Eurasian lynx — silent ruler of the forest. In the Bavarian Forest National Park, it moves with incredible grace, almost invisible among the trees. 🌲👁️✨

🌆 Urban wildlife: Among concrete and street lamps, a common squirrel appeared — a tiny acrobat finding its way through the city bustle. 🐿️✨ For a moment, it paused, watching the world around.

🍁 Autumn story: In the glow of golden leaves, a great tit appears — small but full of life. It hops from branch to branch, as if enjoying every ray of autumn sun. 🍂💛

✨ As the first rays of sunlight touched the edge of the forest, “krr-krr” broke the silence. On a branch appeared the Eurasian wryneck — a master of disguise. 🌅🪶

🦉 The autumn forest has its own silence… and somewhere in it, an owl is watching. Which owl would you love to meet on an autumn walk? 👀🍂

🦉 Did you know that the Long-eared Owl doesn’t actually have ears in those “ears”? Those tufts are just feathers — used for camouflage and to express mood! Its real ears are hidden on the sides of its head, perfectly adapted for pinpointing sounds in total darkness. 🌌

Behind the lens 🎒📷
The journey here took 2.5 hours by car and 1 hour on foot. But moments like this are worth it. 🌿💚
How many kilometers would you walk for the perfect photo?

It costs $0.00 to support a 43 y.o. wildlife photographer from Czechia 🇨🇿
Decades of patience, silence, and love for the wild — shared through every photograph I take. 🦉📸
I capture moments from the wild, from misty mornings over Czech ponds to cliffside gannets by the sea. 🌏

🌅 At one of my favorite spots, I often enjoy breathtaking sunrises like this one.
The silence, the cool morning air, and the first rays of light… moments that make early mornings worth it. 🌿✨
