VERY SMALL finch, seen around human habitation everywhere, a confiding species, working in small to very large groups, primarily a ground-feeder. A real joy to see in the Gambia
=======================
THANK YOU for your visit, friendship and comments, hope you are all keeping well and safe, God bless...................Tomx
=======================
ASK JESUS INTO YOUR LIFE ! YOU WILL NEVER REGRET IT.
TINY RED FINCH is seen in parties on the ground around human habitation everywhere, so to capture a pair of the ground was a sheer joy, not sure they felt the same way about my intrusion and presents.
========================================
THANK YOU for your kind comments and friendship, look forward to seeing your latest adventures into God's amazing nature. Keep warm, safe, and well my dear friends... God Bless ..Tomx
A TINY BIRD, and a photographers nightmare as they rarely stop moving and so fast. Although wrens prefer to feed in the undergrowth, they typically emerge from cover periodically and perch in the open very briefly. Seen at Stodmarsh N.R, Kent.
========================
THANKING YOU FOR YOUR VISIT, please leave a comment, will look forward to seeing your latest posting soon as I can,
Have a couple of people I follow, who have just stopped posting, and it's so worrying, not knowing, and you start to think the worst !!! You are all in my prayers, stay well and safe.
God bless you........................................................Tomx
SMALLEST BIRD in the region, can be difficult to locate at first, so listen for their high-pitched calls, then the fun begins, because it seldom stops foraging , sometimes hanging from twigs or hovering , while looking for invertebrates, See and enjoyed at |Sandwich Bay, while looking for Crossbills without any luck.
=================================================
THANK YOU FOR YOUR FRIENDSHIP, please leave a comment and I will look forward to doing the same to your latest posting.
Stay well and alert my friends, keep a smile on your face and love in your hearts for everyone............God bless you........... ...................................Tomx
This amazing Blanketflower (Gaillardia aristata) was three inches wide (9cm). That might not seem unusual since there are other flowers that are much larger, but in this case the plant was only just over one foot tall (30+ cm).
Blanketflower is a native wildflower of Colorado. Many varieties have been developed for use as garden flowers. Perhaps the most common one has red petals that are tipped with yellow. This picture was taken in the scrub on water's edge of Berkeley Lake, Colorado, at the north-west border of Denver.
TINY, black, brown and white mannikin seen widely in fields,
=====moving in small flocks of about 50-100 birds, perching in rows on low arching stems, feeding on seeds, they approach the sides of roads and humans without much fear in search of food.
=====================
THANK YOU for your visit to my Gambia images, please leave a comment, and I will return the visit.
Trust you all are praying for peace in Ukraine, hard to believe that this is happening in Europe !!!!
God bless.....................Tomx
TINY BIRD which can be recognized by its dumpy proportions, mainly dark brown plumage and its habit of frequently cocking its tail upright, The wren is rather unobtrusive as it creeps through low vegetation in search of insects, and is extremely vocal. Seen at Stodmarsh Nature Reserve Kent. UK
========================================
THANK YOU for your visit friendship and kind comments, have a few family things to see to, and will be off line for three days, but will do my best to catch up.

Originario de México y Estados Unidos , esta bella planta se ha extendido entre todos los coleccionistas del mundo .
Sus flores son de 9cm y de un color increíble, su forma simplemente perfecta, contribuye a su espectacularidad … como veis el centro es blanco y allí se disponen numerosos estambres con carpelos amarillos y un estigma multilobulado verdoso intenso.
Las flores diurnas de una duración de cuatro o cinco días, surgen principalmente de las areolas del centro de los tallos .La floración comienza principalmente durante inicios de la primavera y termina a mediados del verano.
Sus tallos cilíndricos erectos de 10 o 12 cm de largo y 3 cm de diámetro están divididos en costillas de 4 o 5 vértices…En el ápice de los tubérculos se disponen pequeñas areolas en las cuales, se desarrollan las espinas, no querráis saber cómo tengo las manos …. Hace dos meses que estoy cambiando sustratos y mis dedos, a pesar de los guantes, están llenos de cortes y “pinchazos”… Pero a quién le importa …Estas floraciones magníficas me hacen olvidar los malos momentos y reverencio cada día esta bella naturaleza!!
GARDEN CAPTURE yesterday, at 7am in the early gloom, a pair of these beauties to my utter excitement , grabbed my camera and managed to fire five shots, only this one in focus. ISO 2500, minus 2 stops, 1/90 sec. They were constantly active in search of small invertebrates.
========================
THANK YOU FOR BEING A FRIEND, love looking and commenting on your images. Enjoy the weekend stay safe.. .............................................God bless you.....................Tomx

GAVE up on FLICKR yesterday, as it was unbelievable slow, did anybody else have the same problem.?
A TINY BIRD, that does not come my way often, but this morning proved fruitful. It creeps through deep low vegetation in search of insects, has a habit of frequently cocking its tail upright, it can look rather mouse-like, and is extremely vocal during spring the mating season.
==============================================
THANK YOU FOR YOUR FRIENDSHIP, your comments and faves are always appreciated and find very encouraging.
Keep well and safe my dear friends, God bless ............Tomx

The Goldcrest is the smallest bird in the UK, just 9cm in length, and weighs approximately 5.5g, which is the equivalent of a twenty pence coin. If not for the fiery orange stripe along its head, the Goldcrest would be a somewhat mute-looking bird, with nothing more than a dull greyish-green plumage with which to advertise its appearance.

TINY, lively, and highly social birds, moving in family groups or larger flocks, perching in rows on low arching stems side by side, attracted to water, seen above on tall grasses, swaying in the light winds, feeding on the seeds, could watch them all day long. Zoom in for more detail.

THANK YOU for your friendship and kind comments, enjoy the weekend, we have SUNSHINE in Kent at last, so keep safe and well ................................... Tomx
A small light (3.5in/9cm) given to me by aunt. The little birds in the snow always give me a smile!
I tried cropping this square, but for some reason I like it better as it came from the camera. Hope the month is off to a good start for everyone.

ONE bird I struggle to see, let alone photograph, normally creeping through low vegetation in search of insects. But this one gave me a brief opportunity to snatch a image or two.

""I'm a bit sad, I see the end of the roll of paper from which I am folded. And also, for now, I'm the last of this series of dragons, which Marjan folded this summer.
So I'll have to wait a while for new ori-friends... Well, I'm sitting well and softly on the lookout!! ;-))""
As the little one above already told you, this is the last one in the dragon-serie, more to come, but I have to fold them first.
I hope this setting will make you smile ;-))

SEXES similar. Common tiny black, brown, and white mannikin are seen widely in fields, villages, and bush. Lively and highly social birds, moving in family groups or larger flocks, perching in long rows, side by side, are a real joy to see at Kuto, Gambia.

This is a stich up of 4 verticle 9cm square color negs. I'm going to do a more painterly treatment but wanted to show you the 'pure' version too :)
This image loves to viewed with a black background View On Black
This is a crazy format to try and show on flickr, but I uploaded a fairly large one you can scroll around on. I like the way the leaves are real large at the bottom of the frame and then pixel sized near the top
A small cube (9cm square) full of coloured paper. Take a piece, make a note or a shopping list, and throw away when used.
This is a small section of the sheets, about 3 or 4cm.

Red-backed Fairy-wren
Scientific Name: Malurus melanocephalus
Description: This is the smallest of the fairy-wrens, with the male in breeding plumage inmistakable; glossy black with a scarlet saddle, black bill and shortish tail with a squared tip. Adult non-breeding males and immature birds are very similar to the females which are plain warm-brown with a pinkish-brown bill, though males have a black bill. The tail of the females is longer and more pointed. These wrens have no blue in their plumage at all. They are usually in small family groups with mainly brownish birds.
Similar species: The breeding male is unmistakable. Eclipse (non-breeding) males and females are a warm brown with pale lores and eye-ring and are smaller than the similar Superb Fairy-wren M. cyaneus, which have orange-red lores. The Variegated Fairy-wren is also bigger with a longer tail. These wrens rarely overlap with the similar White-winged Fairy-wren M leucopterus.
Distribution: Red-backed Wrens are endemic (found only there) to north and east Australia.
Habitat: They are found in dense understorey dominated by tall grasses in tropical and sub-tropical areas.
Seasonal movements: Resident and sedentary, and may move locally in the non-breeding season.
Feeding: Red-backed Wrens feed on small insects and arthropods, feeding in small groups among tall grasses and shrubs, sometimes in trees.
Breeding: Little is known about their breeding habits. The small dome-shaped nest is well-hidden and placed close to the ground, often in grass tussocks. The nest is made of grasses, bark strips and spiders web, lined with fine grasses and feathers. The eggs are white, splotched and spotted with red-brown marks. The female mainly incubates and broods the young. Both parents feed the nestlings, sometimes helped by others in the group, and remove the faecal sacs.
This is the smallest of the Fairy-wrens and is sometimes known as the Elfin Wren.
Calls: The call is a weak high-pitched reeling song, soft and unobstrusive, often only heard from quite close.
Minimum Size: 9cm
Maximum Size: 13cm
Average size: 11cm
Average weight: 8g
Breeding season: August to January
Clutch Size: 2-3
Incubation: 12 days
Nestling Period: 11 days
