A low-angle, eye-level shot capturing a majestic white stork with black wingtips and a vibrant red beak standing atop a weathered, orange-brown brick wall. The bird is naturally framed by blurred, rough brick structures in the foreground on the left and right, drawing the eye to the stork set against a clear, deep blue sky.

Gotta love those fluff balls!

A great tit perched on a thin branch, facing slightly to the side, with its black head, white cheek patches, and warm yellow chest sharply in focus against a softly blurred, muted background.

Ein leuchtend blau-orangefarbener Eisvogel sitzt seitlich auf einem schräg verlaufenden Schilfhalm. Um ihn herum stehen dichte, beige Schilfstängel und mehrere federige Schilfwedel; rechts dominiert ein großer, herabhängender Fruchtstand. Die ruhigen Naturfarben des Hintergrunds lassen den Vogel besonders stark hervorstechen und erzeugen eine stille, winterliche Moor- oder Uferstimmung.

A vivid blue-and-orange kingfisher is perched sideways on a slanted reed stem. It is surrounded by dense, pale-beige reeds and several feathery seed heads, with a large drooping plume dominating the right side. The muted tones and soft background make the bird stand out strongly, creating a calm, wintry wetland or riverside atmosphere.

This a image is for all the Americans on this app which seems like a small population… But you don’t have to be American to enjoy it.#HappyThanksgiving #Gratitude #Community #Sharing #naturecollage #DigitalCollage #NaturePhotography #TurkeyArt #BirdArt #HolidayArt #FeatheredFriends #NotFood #GobbleGobble and for all the non-Americans I hope you guys have a lovely Thursday full of gratitude and connection… Something that Thanksgiving sometimes offers😆

The image is of a bird on a white background, it is a digital collage made from the artist own nature photo of a common poly poor and the eastern US in Canada that is famous for its anti-inflammatory properties. It’s named turkey tail lead to an obvious inspiration for this piece. The body of the turkey is made from the wooden stump the polypores were growing on.

The tiny drama on the shoreline

At the beach of Oranjezon in Zeeland, I stumbled into a miniature comedy act starring two birds with very different personalities. In Dutch we call them a Steenloper and a Drieteenstrandloper — but internationally they’re known as the Ruddy Turnstone (Arenaria interpres) and the Sanderling (Calidris alba).

The Turnstone was doing its usual business: flipping over shells and stones with impressive determination, searching for hidden snacks. But right behind it — practically glued to its tail — the Sanderling trotted along, refusing to be shooed away. The back-and-forth between them felt like watching a feathered version of the Roadrunner and Wile E. Coyote, tiny legs moving at ridiculous speeds.

Photographically, this was a fun challenge. A dark grey day, the sea rolling in behind them, and me lying low with the Canon 5D Mark IV and Sigma 100–400mm at 400mm. Because of the poor light I had to work with a slower shutter speed (1/250s). Tracking two hyperactive birds at that focal length is like trying to thread a needle in a storm — but somehow it worked. The legs slightly blurred just enough to show their speed, while the birds themselves stayed sharp.

I’m honestly proud of this one. A little slice of nature, comedy, and chaos — exactly as it happened on that windy Zeeland beach.

A blue tit perched on a thin branch holds a bundle of dry grass and twigs in its beak, likely for nest-building. The bird’s bright yellow belly and blue cap contrast with the soft gray background, creating a delicate and airy composition.

When you fly solo there’s only one person that gets it done and I can lose hours in tangible, hands-on projects. But the thirsty turkeys showed up and I knew it was time to get back to work inside.
