Great crested grebes are enchanting-looking water birds and certainly one of the most popular photo opportunities for nature photographers.
However, especially during the mating season, these elegant birds can also become extremely uncomfortable with one another. 
Photos were taken with the Pentax K3 III and the Pentax 150-450 mm F4.5-5.6 in Berlin Spandau.
The tiger snake is a very photogenic snake that occurs in China, Korea and Japan and impresses with its intense colors of green and red.
The snake likes to live near lakes and rivers, feed on fish, amphibians and other reptiles that it hunts in or near water. The snake is considered venomous because it processes the poison of its preferred food, the common toad, and can chew this poison into bite wounds. Although it does not have poisonous fangs like a viper, the bite is certainly not to be underestimated.
Furthermore it is poisonous as it also has the peculiarity of bein able to squeeze out the poison from the head via a poison gland, so that predators such as foxes can be repelled. 
Photos were taken 2018 with the Pentax K3 II and the Pentax 150-450mm F4.5-5.6.

I was able to photograph this beautiful little egret in Hangzhou (PR China, Zhejiang province) with the Pentax 150-450mm zoom lens.

The Eastern Green Lizard (Lacerta viridis / östliche Smaragdeidechse) is one of the most beautiful animals in Germany and a real jewel in Brandenburg. Unfortunately, this lizard in Brandenburg can only be found in a few places in low density and number. This species is in danger.
