Hello everyone!

Wow, how tidy.
I imagined it differently. And I wouldn't have expected the stream to be so close.

Beautiful, these little groups of coppice. I think it's a good shelter for the young, still dependent eagle owls.

Too tidy?
My garden always looked wilder.

[Polly]

I have always maintained these.
I've never seen anything like this in the forest, but I have it in the garden too.

„Mrs. Ahrtal” is a beauty and she has blue feathers under her beak.


[EDIT] Sorry, that cam must be wrong defined. The light part of the stick in front always gives a spectrum about cyan more than 30 % and a little bit of yellow or not, in full sun and in shadow. Following picture is without direct sunlight.
