Last weekend, by pure chance (was looking for reed buntings), I got my second¹ proper shot of a kingfisher – and then another one, right when it blinked.

As promised earlier today, here's a couple of shots of one of the yellow-headed amazons living in Stuttgart's Rosenstein Park. Their calls sound somewhat human/child-like, which is rather bewildering at first – until you look up and are even more bewildered at the sight of a bright green parrot.

Descending from an escapee pair in the 1980s, there's now about 60 of them. More info in German: https://www.stuttgarter-amazonen.de

Thank you to the kind Buyer from Chicago, IL for purchasing a Wood Print with my photograph; my other “hometown”. Enjoy!

I happened to learn about the exciting news while birdwatching at the same place I’ve taken this picture at.. 😎🎶

It's been a while since I've managed to get a decent shot of a chaffinch, so here's: a decent shot of a chaffinch.

More photos of the always beautiful borb that is the Long-tailed tit

#nature #birds #Wildlife #photography #NaturePhotography #BirdPhotography #BirdsOfMastodon #UK

The Long-tailed Tit is easily recognisable with its distinctive blush, black and white colouring. It also has a tail which is bigger than its body, and a bouncing flight. Sociable and noisy residents, Long-tailed Tits are most usually noticed in small, excitable flocks of about 20 birds. Like most tits, they rove the woods and hedgerows, but are also seen on heaths and commons with suitable bushes.

Still processing photos, but got some decent shots of my first non-fleeting Bullock’s Orioles! She was particularly keen on getting her portrait taken and sat for quite some time. 🧡🖤

Captured this intimate moment of a Red-winged Blackbird mom feeding her offspring. It takes just a few seconds and off she goes..
The fledgling is already almost as big as mom is, can fly, but still needs to be fed.

Red-winged Blackbird mom -with speckled feathers- is feeding her young, both clinging to a vertical cattail at a pond where they build their nest.
The fledgling is already almost as big as mom is, but still needs to be fed.
Both birds are in sharp focus against a soft, green blurred background in their natural, tranquil habitat.
Photographed these intimate moments between mother and her offspring at a pond in Medina, Washington, PNW

"The spotted hawk swoops by and accuses me, he complains of my gab and my loitering.

I too am not a bit tamed, I too am untranslatable,
I sound my barbaric yawp over the roofs of the world."

Had a day off work to take my son to an interview in a village just south of Nottingham (UK). Had 3 hours to kill while he was doing his thing, so popped into Attenborough Nature Reserve (WLT) on a Grey old morning.

Here is a Northern Shoveler filtering the water in one of the many lakes.
