#CommonScooter taking a bath.

I wondered why I had met this beautiful common scoter drake on the beach for a few days in a row. Normally they swim in larger groups on the seeside until they migrate back to their breeding grounds. You usually don't get this close to them here: it seems as if he has lost some of his tail feathers. Is that why he is still here and has not flown home?

The Year 2025 is looking at you!

Hopefully more #vogelflausch and less fascists. Let me dream about it!

I think this is a special photo.

I love photographing birds hunting underwater as they dive down. Some dive in a similar way, but they all have their own technique. The red-breasted merganser dives in a similar way to a cormorant - but in a MUCH higher arc. I have never observed a higher arc in any other diver.
