A wide aspect ratio photograph of two woodpeckers sitting a small distance from each other, on different branches of the same birch tree and facing away from each other. The trunk of the birch is towards the right edge of the photo and a branch of another tree is right next to it to the left. The birds sit in shadow, but the blurry forest background, with out of focus trees further back, is bathing in golden light.

Very happy with this #raven pic, looks almost like a photogram, suitably moody and dark for the season.

Starlings hanging out together. Six Starlings all perched on the same aerial in North Lynn earlier today.

#Raptor overhead! This bird of prey (I am uncertain of the exact #species) was flying above and in front of me as I walked the section of the path alongside Bawsey Drain between Columbia Way and Lynnsport in North Lynn this afternoon.
#photography #nature #birds #ornithology #raptors
A raptor, the species of which I am unsure, flies above North Lynn. It is a fairly large bird (definitely larger than even the biggest gulls) with a mottled brown body, a vicious looking beak, wings fully extended and a broad tail, which would give it great control in flight, enabling it to hover for extended periods if necessary.

#Birds #Wildlife #Photography #Darktable

A color landscape photo of three birds sitting on a large round wood fence post. The birds are small and very plump and round. They are gray on the chest with bronze colored wings. Their bellies are checkered with bronze and white. Their heads are black with white lines under their chins and over the top of their heads. Each has a long upright tassel that sticks out in front of their face. Two are pointed toward the right and the one on the left has its back to the camera but is looking over its right shoulder.

I swear I am giving the magpies plenty of food, but apparently they want everything I put out in my garden.

#Photography #Photo #Garden #Magpie #EurasianMagpie #Birds #Birbs #Nature #Allheimen

Square photo of a winter garden. In the foreground is a small tree with two feeding stations hanging from thin branches only suitable to hold small birds. One is a small red house with seeds, the other is a metal spiral filled with suet cakes. The main attraction in this photo is an Eurasian magpie caught in flight, it's wings spread out, as it tries to get a nibble from one of the suet cakes.

First-off, sorry to anyone seeing this twice for no good reason. There was a reason, a software-related one, but not necessarily good. I lost a few days of posts due to a backup.

Anyhoo, here's the trip to Old Hollow Lake and Salem Lake last week. Man, do I wish I had the original draft for this post so I didn't have to write this out again lol.

I walked 1/3 of the 7 mile hike before my leg started hating me again... but as we all know, going 1/3 in means I had to turn around and take it all back. So, yeah, stubborn me never learns his lesson. I have taken a resolution to completing the 7 mile hike of Salem Lake at some point, but I'll have to return much later, much more prepared and with my leg actually healed.

Anyway, here's the four bests I chose from this trip but like I said when I posted this originally, it was between a few, so, others may trickle in.

A congregation of snowy egrets, or in my parlance, 'an edith', as in "I dare say you don't Edith, because they all appear to be here"

27 snowy egrets line the edge of a bank, their backs towards the camera. Their stark whiteness punctuates the greyness of the day and the water around them

we get a lot of early morning visitors to the top or pine tree opposite us, its a big tree but living on the hill means we are almost level with the very top.
Here's a Flicker and a Red-shouldered Hawk.
The Flicker seems to be eyeing the midges above it.

🦩Did you know? A flock of flamingos is called a flamboyance—and it’s easy to see why! With their bright pink feathers, long legs, and graceful necks, these colorful birds command attention wherever they go.

There are six species of flamingo worldwide. They are highly social creatures and often gather in large numbers. The largest flamingo colony in the world can be found in Tanzania, where more than 2 million birds have been observed at one time.

A small songbird with an olive-green head, bright yellow throat, and a red-orange bill perches on a thin branch. Its wings show vivid patches of blue, yellow, and orange against soft gray feathers. The background is a blur of green leaves, giving the scene a lush, forested feel.

An Athene cunicularia (burrowing owl) doing its best Wolfgang impersonation. All it needs is the WWII German helmet and a cigarette.

(I know, about 98 percent of you have no clue what I'm referring to.)

#Birds #Wildlife #Photography #Darktable

A color landscape photo of a small owl looking directly at the camera with its big round yellow eyes with round black pupils. All that can be seen of the owl is its head as it is behind a vine like plant, with medium size leaves, that is growing along the ground in front of the owl. The owl's head feathers and mostly brown with small light beige spots.

Athene cunicularia (burrowing owl) at the south end of the Salton Sea in California (10/24/2025).

#Birds #Wildlife #Photography #Darktable

A color square photo of a small owl standing on a mound of brown dirt. The owl faces toward the left with its head turned, looking at the camera. It's dawn, so there's a long shadow behind the owl. The owl is mostly a golden brown with white splotches. It's eyes are large, round, and yellow. The rising sun is reflected in its right pupil. It's legs are bare with very large feet and talons.
