A sweet little Eastern Spinebill that came remarkably close to me at Mt Tomah on Friday. #birds
Photograph of a small honeyeater looking at the viewer, surrounded by grevillea leaves. The bird is black, orange, and white, with strikingly red eyes and a long, curved black beak. The camera is focused on its face, with most of the rest of the scene in soft focus due to the subject's proximity to the lens.

The only thing better than one Böhm’s Bee-eater, is two of these beautiful birds! 📍Mbuyuni Farm Retreat, Morogoro, Tanzania. #Tanzania #Birds #NaturePhotography 🪶
Slim green bee-eater with an orange throat and crown, a black tip to the tail, and elongated black tail streamers. Found very locally in moist woodland and forest edge, usually near rivers and streams. Typically in pairs or small groups. The call is an up-and-down series of high-pitched whistles.

Happy International Vulture Awareness Day! Vultures make our world safer for humans & other animals by dining on carrion & removing their pathogens from the environment. 🪶

I call this the good, the bad and the ugly, although none of them are actually ugly! They are just showing their normal goofy expressions. TGIF, good weekend all! #FlamingoFriday #birds #ElHondo
Three flamingos, all showing head and necks to some degree. The closest on is looking towards the viewer, the one on the right is in profile &  is looking left, towards the third flamingo. The one on the left is also in profile & we see its body and it's looking right. All showing the special pink beaks, black tipped. The background is water and reeds out of focus.

A pair of sleeping Greater Flamingos at #ElHondo. It didn't quite work out the way I had it in my mind but the reflection was fun anyway. #birds
a black & white image showing two flamingos with their backs to the viewer. Both are standing in shallow water on one leg and the reflection gives the impression of extremely long legs. White spots on the water is insects and feathers.

For #WaderWednesday another Collared Pratincole as it sweeps through the wetlands, gulping down bugs. They must have left us on migration, as I haven't heard or seen them for a week. #birds #ElHondo
A bird that is brown on its back and top of the wings, flies above the water in a wetland. The background is green reeds out of focus. It has a thin black collar that runs from eye to eye, below the chin, thus the name. The base of its short bill is red and its belly is white (unseen). We are looking at the bird from the side and above it.

Aaaaaargh, not you again! A Whiskered Tern showing his delight at being photographed. #birds #TernTuesday
A white bodied bird is flying towards the viewer in the blue sky. Its wings are almost straight up and down as it turns and the red bill is wide open as it screams. The top of its head is black and this covers the black eyes as well.

Found very locally in moist woodland and forest edge, usually near rivers and streams. Typically in pairs or small groups. The call is an up-and-down series of high-pitched whistles. Somewhat similar to Madagascar Bee-eater, but smaller and slimmer, and without broad white stripes on the face.

A Glossy Ibis, a Stilt and a Plover walk in a lake... A silhouette, although not a full black and white image. #ClassicMono #birds
Three birds are in silhouette. At the top looking right is a Glossy Ibis, in the middle looking left is a Black-winged Stilt walking and in the lower third is a Plover, standing in the shallow water doing nothing, as Plovers do. The water has a light blue early morning colour, showing faint white clouds in reflection.

Gracklepalooza continues with a lot of chaos and chatter. We love it, and we’re not the only ones. Our neighbourhood Merlins are keeping a close eye on things and frequently come through hunting runs. This Merlin was unsuccessful this time around. #Birds #photography #wildlife 🪶
A Merlin, a small falcon, perches on a spruce tree branch. It is a mottled brown and beige and the horizontal black striping on its tail is just visible. It has a yellow patch around its eye and a beautiful hooked grey beak. Its sharp talons are visible as it grips the branch with its yellow feet.

Don't get in a flap this morning, even if it is Monday! Good week all! #birds
A large brown bodied bird, wings up, as it flies to work on a Monday. Its neck and head have white speckles among the brown and its long curved bill shows it to be a Glossy Ibis or Gonzo. Under the open facing wing, shimmers of green iridescence show. The dark legs trail behind with the long toes folded up.

Some Lantana for #SundayYellow and #PhotographyBreak. This plant, although with beautiful flowers, is very hard to get rid of in the garden, with its long-growing thorny shoots, which take over. Many thanks to the Sparrows who poop them into place! 😂
A plant with several flower heads. Each head is made up alternately of small yellow and purple flowers. The background is dark as the cameras meters for the bright flowers.

I really enjoy seeing the videos and photos for #SuperSeabirdSunday. These Terns in the early morning from David are superb! I don't have anything nearly as exciting but here's a wet juvenile Slender-billed Gull, flying offshore along the Costa Blanca. #birds
An all white sea bird, wings wide open, flies in the blue Spanish sky. The narrow longish bill is starting to turn red as it matures. The chest feathers are wet, showing it has been feeding in the sea water.

Been out with clients for two days and not been on here. 🙏 For a late #FlamingoFriday here is a youngster flying into the weekend, much like we all are. 🦩 Good weekend all! #birds
A side view of a juvenile flamingo, flying in the Spanish blue sky. The legs are missing out of shot on the left side. It has yet to gain adult plumage and shows a brownish long stretched out neck, a white bill, still black tipped and the start of a pinkish colour under its wings, which are on the upward stroke. It already has black feathers to the back half of each wing. The eye is still black and will develop into a yellow as it grows.

A generally white bodied bird, with gray splotches on the belly, is flying away from the viewer at a 45 degree angle. Looking at it from below, the V shaped tail is half open as its red bill, which is black tipped. The head has a black cap and the ends of the primaries are also black. The background is the blue, summer, Spanish sky.
