This bird is judging me, and I’m found lacking.
So cool. What species is this?
My ability to reply is lacking…I tried to reply to @Ulrich_from_Germany ![]()
It’s a Terathopius ecaudatus, in German a Gaukler.
Oh, that’s fun, in Dutch this is a “bateleur”, which is also the name of one of our compute clusters (we have a thing with naming things after birds).
Was it in free nature or in a Kind of Zoo?
I took my dog out for a walk. He found his friend. ![]()
The “friend” is a coyote I’ve mentioned elsewhere.

He does have me well-trained!
Ha!
Looks glorious
A zoo - I cannot afford traveling to the sub-sahara ![]()
Heck of a day today… Went out immediately after work to find some new spots to shoot at near where I’m staying and wandered in to a woodland. Got some stream photos and found three tiny waterfalls, then saw the moon centered over this interesting rock.
Even managed to get a quick photo of a a rainbow at the jobsite (been raining here for the last three days) when the sun finally came out.
I’ll be heading back to these spots when I can.
Still haven’t found a great spot to get the surrounding mountains that isn’t constrained by time… But I think I’m getting closer.
All photos edited in dt 4.6.
I love the moody moon amongst the clouds!
Mycena Metata, the highest are only 2 cm and there are hundreds of them in my garden, did not see them yesterday and now …
