A Red kite from the "backyard", here in Techelsdorf, northern Germany :) Its tail feathers looked to be messed up. We have many birds of prey that often fight for territory and prey, also ravens and crows.

This year I had the chance to be a part of folkBaltica (folkbaltica.de). This year there were 28 concerts across Schleswig-Holstein and Sønderjylland (South Denmark). It was a wonderful festival, and I must say I feel privileged to have been this year’s photographer.

folkBaltica opening concert at Koncersal Alsion, in Sønderborg Denmark. On stage: folkBaltica Ensemble, Sønderjysk Pigekor, and folkBaltica's artistic director Harald Haugaard. Gjermund Larsen, this year's artist in residence performing at folkBaltica's opening concert. He is playing a Hardingfele (Hardanger Fiddle). Not only is it one of Norway’s most famous exports, but the hardingfele is also Norway’s national instrument. The hardingfele is different from its stringed cousins in a couple of ways. First, the wood of the instrument is significantly thinner than the wood used in violins. Also, the hardingfele typically has eight or nine strings, while the violin only has four. The hardingfele player plucks or bows four strings while the remaining four or five resonate underneath.

A blue light shines towards the camera and lights the audience's head light blue. Volosi, a Polish folk band performs at Rinkenæs church in South Denmark. The photo depicts the members of the band blurred by their fast movements. A cello and a double bass can be seen in the center of the image, while the other instruments are blurred in the foreground.

Another one from the garden. This Eurasian nuthatch (Sitta europaea) or "Kleiber", as they are called here in Germany.

Loica, or Long-tailed meadowlark (Leistes loyca). I photographed this beauty while hiking at Jeinimeni National Reserve, in Chilean Patagonia back in 2018.

A Chilien Loica looks to the left while perched on a slim branch. Approximately 15 centimeters tall, with dark grey feathers on the sides and wings, a very bright red chest and neck, and a distinctive white stripe on top of the eye. The long-tailed meadowlark (Leistes loyca) is a passerine bird of southern South America and the Falkland Islands, belonging to the meadowlark genus Leistes in the icterid family.

This little fellow is long-tailed tit. I photographed it last year in our garden. We will be moving soon and one of the things I'll miss the most is all the little birds that come by daily.

I never got into the whole Instagram thing, which, since I am a photographer, surprised many people. But I think I'll start sharing here, let's see what happens 😁
