: The kestrel (Falco tinnunculus) is the most common falcon in Central Europe. It is relatively familiar to the public because it has also conquered cities and urban areas as its habitat and can often be seen hovering. Body size and wingspan vary greatly depending on the subspecies and individual. In the subspecies Falco tinnunculus tinnunculus found in Europe, males reach an average body length of 34.5 centimeters and females 36 centimeters. The average wingspan of males is just under 75 centimeters and that of the larger females is 76 centimeters. Studies have shown that females can differentiate between eleven different vocalizations and males over nine. The calls can be divided into a few basic patterns, the volume, pitch and frequency of which vary depending on the situation.
This pretty female kestrel showed itself to me while I was counting the winter birds. I was very grateful because everything else was far away

„Turmfalke – majestätischer Blick auf dem Rückweg “
Die Bilder vom Technorama muss ich noch in Ruhe entwickeln, aber schaut mal, wer uns auf dem Rückweg begegnet ist! Dieser Turmfalke hat sich perfekt ins Licht gesetzt und mir die Chance für eine besondere Aufnahme gegeben.
Fotografie ist Vielfalt: Manchmal sind die besten Motive unerwartete Begegnungen.
Hallo meine geliebten und nicht geliebten Lebensformen,
Ich hab heute ein bißchen Zeit mit den Turmfalken verbracht, die neben meiner Unterkunft brüten und heftigst am Balzen waren.
Abends hab ich dann diesen Turmfalken an anderer Stelle getroffen. Er lies sich sehr lange beobachten und ist erst nach 10 Minuten weiter geflogen.
Apropos fliegen, solidarische Grüße an die streikenden Kolleg:innen am Münchner Flughafen. Ich hattte gehofft ich dürfte länger hier bleiben, aber es verlängert sich nur die Reisezeit über Frankfurt mit dem Zug nach München. Kein Spaß mit 2 Koffern, 2 Kamerarucksäcken und zwei Laptops. Aber euer Streik ist wichtig und richtig, ihr sorgt jeden Tag dafür, dass alles klappt. Da müssen dann auch Arbeitsbedingungen und Bezahlung stimmen.
Tiere sind Freunde und kein Essen oder eine Plage.
Bleibt gesund, glücklich und verliebt.
Der schlimmste Seelenschmerz ist das Fernweh.

Hello my beloved and unloved life forms,
I spent some time today with the kestrels nesting next to my accommodation and they were busy mating.
In the evening I met this kestrel elsewhere. He kept an eye on me for a very long time and only flew on after 10 minutes.
Speaking of flying, solidarity greetings to the striking colleagues at Munich airport. I had hoped I would be able to stay here longer, but it only extends the journey time via Frankfurt by train to Munich. No fun with 2 suitcases, 2 camera backpacks and two laptops. But your strike is important and right, you make sure that everything runs smoothly every day. Working conditions and pay have to be right too.
Animals are friends, not food or a nuisance.
Stay healthy, happy and in love.
The most terrible pain in the soul is wanderlust.
