Yesterday night we took advantage of the nice weather and went into town to take some night shots of the most clicked object in this city (please click on the images to get larger versions).

Kölner Dom

Kölner Dom, if you take a close look on the bridge you might see so weird lines over it. They are the result of the gulls flying through the lights pointing to the bridge.

Some times you get really lucky.

We got some new birds at Uni. Pretty, little guys. Australian “Diamond Firetail” (Stagonopleura guttata).

Diamond Firetail

Went on a short day trip to the island of Helgoland in the Northern Sea. There are some fine nesting spots for several sea bird species. Including gannets (Sula bassana), murres (Uria aalgae) and several gulls. Although its quite crowded in summer, it offers nice opportunities to take some close up photos of these birds.
