Unser gerade aufgegebener Falken-#Nistkasten ist prompt von einem anderen #Wanderfalke|n -Paar besiedelt worden. Es kann nicht das alte Paar sein, weil das neue Weibchen noch sehr jung ist, denn ihr Gefieder ist noch bräunlich.
Wie kann das sein, dass so ein Kasten so schnell besiedelt wird? Ist die Nistplatz-Not so groß? Und was ist wohl aus unserem alten Paar geworden?

Took the daily hike out at Cachalot today. Extremely quiet; didn't see a single other person. Didn't even hear any dirt bikes.
Did spot a few other things, though, including this Eastern Towhee with its afternoon snacks.

I went from not knowing of the existence of the mot mot to seeing two different types of motmots and being in awe of both.
Here is the Lesson's mot mot. Click to see the full images and what makes the mot mot so special.

I got some great photos of a Great Crowned Flycatcher at the Tennesee Wildlife Refuge. I think these may be some of my best bird photos yet.

You know how ostriches are (of course incorrectly) believed to stick their head into the ground when they get scared? Well, starlings do that when they get hungry!

Stopped off at RSPB Blacktoft Sands (near Goole, UK) on the way home today. Saw a few Marsh Harriers here (another 1st for me). Unfortunately, they were flying so far off in the distance, these were the best images I could get).

Saw this pretty pigeon the other day! (Its plumage reminded me just a bit of turtle doves, but I don't think it's a hybrid or anything.)

The female Yellow-shafted Flicker took a break from incubating duties to get a drink from our birdbath.
It's been a hot day (28C). The birdbath brings a lot of birds to our garden during the summer.

I'm going to bed now but this little bird with its 1920s headpiece is sparking joy!

Yesterday was a nice day at Middle Fork River Forest Preserve in Champaign County, IL. The resident bald eagles appear to have had two chicks this year, though I was only able to photograph one, as the other was mostly in the bottom of the nest. There were also lots of other pretty birds.
Last one for tonight. Here are two Atlantic Puffins being photobombed by a Razorbill

I won't deny that I've brightened up the reflection a little, and I've obviously desaturated the rest of the image (not that there was much color to begin with) – with that disclaimer out of the way:
Crows reflected in a crow's eye.

As I was starting to walk home I heard this low pitched call, and after searching the trees for a while, I found this beautiful owl fighting with a damn squirrel at the top of this very tall tree lol
After it settled down on a nearby tree I managed to take a few more shots.

The #EasternKingbird is described as a bird in a business suit, with it's dark gray underparts and white tip to the tail.This elegant songbird can be quite aggressive, an actual tyrant, when protecting it's nest from predators, hence the scientific name of Tyrannus Tyrannus.

Folks will often tell you to touch grass today, but leave out the part where you’re supposed to find bugs in the grass and eat them. This cardinal in my backyard knows. #BirdPhotography #NaturePhotography

The Isle Of Lunga is always a special place to visit and spend a few hours, but right now, with both the sea pinks and bluebells in bloom, it's heavenly.

Forest walks. Yesterday we walked in the Den of Alyth, a deep gorge filled with mixed forest and Alyth Burn and managed to photograph my first young Dipper being fed / taught to feed itself.

It's an unusual lens the 60-600mm, and I'll be writing a lot more about it on the blog soon. I've spent the just 5 years shooting telephoto in the G9 with effectively 800mm, so stepping back into full frame telephoto was a bit of a shock for me! The results were amazing though.
About twice a year I get a chance to go shooting wildlife. I'm relatively inexperienced compared to real wildlife photographers. And yet the results I get from a few days in Arhemland carrying a Sigma 60-600mm and the LUMIX S5II were incredibly rewarding.
Having great people on the ground helps. Also cameras are getting crazy good these days. Using a tripod to carry the weight of this telephoto in the boat was great too.
I heard a calling woodpecker in the distance while on an evening walk, so I investigated around a bit and was pleasantly surprised to see a young great spotted woodpecker high up in a hole!
It was most likely waiting for its parent(s) to come back with some tasty food.

Okay, I'm really proud of this video: An Egyptian goose blinking in slow motion.
First, it closes its half-transparent nictitating membrane and, at the same time, starts wiggling the eye (not sure why, but I captured additional blinks, and it always did that). Then, the normal eyelid closes, after which the nictitating membrane retracts underneath the closed eyelid!

Wondering why I haven't posted any photos in a while?
I was just building a stock of a little over 5000 photos. It will take me a while to post shots of my wonderful trip. Here is a preview.
Can you guess where I was?
