Back to the middle of Central Park today!
An eastern phoebe, a white-breasted nuthatch, two American goldfinches at a feeder, and three red-eared slider turtles on a rock.
#birds #birdCPP #wildlifePhotography #birdsForBecsNan

The bird is perched on a bare branch, looking to its right.

The nuthatch is walking down a tree trunk, but with its head bent back to look at something 90° from the trunk.

There is a cylindrical bird feeder with a tray at the bottom. There are two goldfinches on the tray, at either end, facing each other.

Three turtles, head to tail, on a rock in the water.

Out for a early morning walk in the forest with my camera gear, and this little guy comes walking along through the underbrush. Cheers for now... https://5-alan-mason.pixels.com

A Scarlet Ibis in flight with distinctive patterns along its neck and head. It is tricky catching BIF with the A7RV.

Unidentified #BirdOfPrey in Home Park near #Kingston - not an adult of any of the species I can recognise easily (kite, buzzard, falcon, kestrel) - I'm thinking a juvenile, or maybe just something less seen. Fairly small.
What do people think it is?

A small brown bird of prey with a hooked beak and a narrow tail is flying against a blue sky.

Heute mal wieder im Seewinkel gewesen - als kleine Vorschau gibt es mal eine Graugans, die nach der Federpflege mit den Flügeln schlägt

I was in the Seewinkel region again today. As a little preview, here's a shot of a greylag goose flapping its wings after preening its feathers.

Graugans auf dem Wasser schlägt nach der Federpflege mit den Flügeln. Man sieht sie von der Seite und sie schaut nach rechts. Sie ist hoch aufgerichtet und beide Flügel sind gerade nach vorne gestreckt, so dass man die gespreizten Federn der Flügel schön sehen kann. Die Flügelspitzen kommen dabei in etwa auf die Höhe des Schnabels der Graugans.

#BirdsOfMastodon on the walkabout town today.

A great blue heron stands on a barnacled rock and grooms. I hope it got that itch just right.

A bald eagle soars the updrafts high overhead in a partly cloudy sky

A sparrow in a hedge gives me so grade a side-eye

A great blue heron changed position using spread wings for balance. I too perform the same maneuver... but usually fall over anyways.

Black Oil Beetle (Meloe proscarabaeus) today near #Bath #Somerset #UK. First one I've ever found locally. I've seen them in other parts of the country, but never here before, despite many years of looking.
