His hobby has now become a passion.

And the beginning of the Passion has a specific date: February 24, 2021. On this day, an icy winter day, Anselm Mikutta from Steingaden was eleven years old.

On the table of gifts were two books that had been given by his grandmother: one on ornithology and the other on nature photography.

Steingaden

- Both were a direct hit: Since then, he has been taking the most beautiful pictures of the animals with his small digital camera.

He can now determine a lot of them when he looks out the window of his child's room into the garden or through the balcony door himself.

He has already taken hundreds of pictures and saved them on a USB stick.

“A great thing, I can't stop doing it,” says Anselm Mikutta, who is in fifth grade at the Welfen-Gymnasium in Schongau, happily.

What is important to attract birds and to feed them, he found out about in the ornithology book.

The large garden around the house, with its shrubs, bushes, meadows, apple and maple trees, is ideal for building nesting aids and bird houses.

He expertly built it together with his father according to instructions from the guide and set it up on the meadow.

And the feathered bipeds did not stay away for long: Since then, they have been flying past in large numbers, especially in the morning and evening, to peck out food or stick their beaks in the corn dumplings that have been hung up.

They seem to have found a veritable paradise in the garden: “There is not a day that they do not come,” enthuses Anselm.

Many species are now very familiar to him.

Whether red kites, buzzards, great spotted woodpeckers, blackbirds or magpies: he can distinguish the animals not only by their plumage, but also by their song and their peculiarities.

“The great spotted woodpecker comes in the morning, is loud and shrill, it's more of a noise,” the budding bird expert knows.

In the summer he now devotes many hours to his new hobby: And the school subject biology has also become noticeably more attractive.

Can he even imagine studying the subject or becoming an ornithologist?

The boy thinks about it for a while and then says with a smile: “That will be seen.

That may be."
