A pair of courting great crested grebes in Bursa, Turkey. The colourful head feathers are grown specially for the breeding period. The birds perform an elaborate dance with moves that ornithologists have named the ‘ghostly penguin display’, the ‘cat posture’ and the ‘weed ceremony’

Hey all, this is my last photo from our visit of the Wildpark Poing. There are quite some Peacocks around freely. And one of them came rather close and -after a bit of waiting- gave quite a show.

It was not just interesting to see (never saw a peacock coming so close), but also from the photography aspect: How could I get a photo that highlights the animal and feathers but doesn't include a lot of background-clutter or other distractions.

A magnificent peacock is captured in this image, showcasing its stunning tail feathers spread out in full display. The vibrant green and blue hues of the peacock's plumage contrast beautifully with the lush green foliage in the background. The peacock, a member of the pheasant family, is seen with its distinctive crest and elegant beak. The image captures the peacock in its natural outdoor habitat, exuding grace and majesty. The dominant colors of green and blue further emphasize the regal appearance of this bird, creating a visually captivating scene of wildlife in all its glory.

This is the shape of birdsong. Because the bird is a Red-winged Blackbird, it's also the shape of swearing.

A few more Wheatear are starting to move through South Walney, this female was one of six seen today, and it kindly posed for me.
#birds #BirdsOfMastodon #nature #wildlife #darktable
A female Wheatear perched on a lichen covered concrete ruin (a remnant of gun emplacement from WW2). With body facing away, the head is turned in profile with one eye looking toward the camera. The dark tones of tail and wing are matched by black patches in the lichen and the warm tones of the rest of the body stand out against the graduated blue background of the darker Irish Sea and lighter sky.

Att det varr lite disigt och dimmigt på väg hem från jobbet i morse gjorde inget alls. När någon så gärna poserar i vassen under Fredrikskansbron stör inte lite vårkyla. #birds

I'm still working my way through my pictures from the March 13 sunset and look what I found. Sandhill cranes in silhouette.

Checking for errors
Just to be clear, not my photo…so to whomever took it,,hats off

Checking for errors. An open ornithology book against a green lawn. Open to a book on black capped chickadee. To the left print about the little bird, to the right diagrams for identification. Sitting on the upper left of the book is a Carolina? Chickadee looking down at the page as if checking for errors, which if it is a Carolina chickadee, is incorrect, the chickadee has a grayish buff chest, a bit of a black band showing beneath the chin, white cheek strip and black cap, black bill. Apology bird watchers if I got the id and terminology wrong.

A close up photo of the head of a male Mandarin duck on a dark grey river. It is seen in profile, looking left. It has a small red bill, white crescent sweeping back on its head, slightly yellow near the bill, bright red-orange feather beard and two orange sail feathers sticking up above its ruddy side. It is a Fancy Duck.

I’ve taken a few bird photos this week, here’s a selection…

A raven. They are huge, with wing span the equivalent of three London busses #BirdingFact

#Nature #NaturePhotography #Birds #Wildlife #NatureCommunity #Photography #BirdPhotography #BirdWatching #Canon90D

A huge black crow silhouetted against clear blue sky with its wings spread wide as a small normal sized crow flies on the other direction. You can tell it’s a raven by the shape of its tail; move like a diamond compared to a carrion crow’s wedge shaped tail.

The welcoming "committee" when I got home today.

At first I was a bit worried, it's rare to see him hanging out on the ground, and see how his wings aren't properly "set."

I guess he must tired from yesterday's wind? (later on, he was on his usual lookout these days).

Oh and good news, finally (after how many months?) he grabbed peanuts from the plastic box. Maybe soon, I'll be able to leave them unshelled on the balcony without risking the sparrows to steal them.
