Haha, english language is so cute when it comes to differentiation 
The actual meaning of the german word Kohlmeise is "cabbage tit", thats where we make Kraut of, so "kraut tit" would still be an appropriate translation
Regarding the vegetation, no mate, this is a special kind of mate!
(No jagged leaves, tiny white blossoms and thus few harvest but grows up to 5 meter) .
A gift from my wifes sister living in bolivia, taken from her garden.
As a computer science drop out with rusted coding skills, growing a mate-bush-hedge is on of the few things i can justify some ignorant dunning kruger possesd people still calling me a hacker!

A wild swan that has been fed by humans.
I took this photo with the stock camera app of my N900.

2 weeks later.
The birds are completly cosy with theyr new shelter.
I turned into a hobbyist documentary shooter :P
All luck came together last thursday.
Sunshine for twenty minutes, all birds having party, camera setup worked.
I am giving up on achiving a better shot. Weather was bad since then and is forecasted as miserable for the rest of the month.
Camera is Nokia N8, Software Harald Meyers CameraPro.

Happy Easter
As I mentioned earlier, This month topic is a big challenge.
Here, however, is my picture (camera/phone = N9):

I'm amending my entry……
It's Easter Friday and I was in a small town by the seaside in Wales. Was in a pub where he stands on the table and waiting for any fish & chips to come out. So that's a real bird "in action", watch out for your chips!
Took with Xperia Z5.

Even more amazing was the speed with which the staff replaced the patron's complete table service setup--from the tablecloth all the way up to the new meal and fresh gin fizz. I assumed this happened all the time there, and extra servings of pelican favorites were kept on hot standby.
Coming soon, my best bird shot. Either in action or perhaps inaction.

Noticed a non-human figure trying to blend in between fishermen, keeping the unspoken respectful distance.
Action not so much but some would call fishing from a chair sports, so...
A Jolla was my tool and shot from bicycle using volume button as shutter.

Ahem, anyway -- what is the vegetation in the background? Looks to me like something in the ficus (fig) family which is not hardy in temperate climates, so it's gotta be something else . . .
