Enjoying a day off, sitting on the balcony in some nice 18°C. 👌

Here’s a massive image (5928x24180, 12 MB JPG) showing many of the planes that flew by: https://movq.de/v/34a6d39baa/montage.jpg
(btw: There are two parallel runways on the airport but, from that balcony, I can only see the planes that approach one of them. So this is roughly half of the planes arriving here.)
(Forgot to mention, these photos were taking over the course of 50 minutes.)
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Very busy air traffic around you. Like each minute one plane, wow! But great airplane shots. The head of 4866 looks like an eagle, but the tail clearly tells that it is a red kite. What bird is 4912?
@movq@www.uninformativ.de by far the weirdest plane: https://movq.de/v/863829c893/IMG_4912.JPG
@abucci@anthony.buc.ci By far the best one, though! 😂
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Pretty sure that’s a “rook” (Saatkrähe). Their beak is very distinctive.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Ah, I see.
We fed the tadpoles (this time also tadpoles ate the dry bread, not only the fish) and bought some milk. So, just a small stroll. Being out for two hours in 27°C heat is bad. Especially in the sun it’s awfully hot. I’m soaking wet and drank half a liter mineral water straight after coming home.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Wait, fish? In those little ponds? 😳
Sounds so exhausting. I’ll rather stay indoors during those hot hours. 😅
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah. Actually quite a bunch of them. I have no idea what they are, but in my last forest stroll galleries you can see them, e.g. here together with the tadpoles at the embankment:
The pond itself isn’t too tiny. I will try to make a better photo next time. There are also a few very large fish in this pond. Close to half a meter in length, no idea about the species either. Most of the time they’re submerged, it’s very hard to spot them. I’ve only witnessed them a hand full of times over all these years. One day last year I could see five (I think) specimens. That was by far the best time. Most about 40 cm long, the largest individual measured 50-60 cm I reckon. I usually only hear them splattering somewhere every now and then. But catching sight of them is mostly impossible.
Yeah, I try to avoid these hot hours, too. But my mate had an appointment later, so either we skipped this week again (next weeks don’t look any better) or just did it. What can you do. Definitely will take some water with me next time.
