=======================
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
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

Here you see twice the same origami modular by Isa Klein, called 'Bromelias', that I folded recently. On the left the flower is still closed and on the right it has openend ;-)
You need 30 easy to fold elements and then you have to glue them together. That is the only way to make this modular.

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.
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.

THANK YOU for your visit and kind comments, will enjoy seeing your lastest postings, some amazing images coming up, have been going out locally in Thanet Kent, but it seems very quiet for this time of the year.

Scarlet Honeyeater
Scientific Name: Myzomela sanguinolenta
Description: The adult male Scarlet Honeyeater is a vivid scarlet red and black bird with whitish underparts. The females and immature birds are dull brown with dull white underparts and a reddish wash on the chin. In both sexes the tail is relatively short, the bill strongly curved and the eye is dark. This species is a small honeyeater, usually seen alone or in pairs, but occasionally in flocks, high in trees.
Similar species: The male Scarlet Honeyeater can be confused with the male Red-headed Honeyeater, M. erythrocephala, where their ranges overlap (east coast of Cape York Peninsula). It can be distinguished by having more extensive red colouring over the back and down the breast. Female and immature Scarlet Honeyeaters may be confused with similarly coloured honeyeaters, including females and immatures of the Red-headed and the Dusky Honeyeater, M. obscura, as well as the Brown Honeyeater, Lichmera indistincta. They differ from the Red-headed in being more olive-brown and lack red on the forehead. They are smaller and more compact than the Dusky, with a shorter bill and tail, as well as having different calls. They are smaller than the Brown Honeyeater and lack this species' eyespot.
Distribution: The Scarlet Honeyeater is found along the east coast of Australia, from Cooktown, Queensland to Gippsland, Victoria, but it is less common south of Sydney, being a summer migrant in the south. It is also found in Sulawesi, the Moluccas and Lesser Sundas, Indonesia and in New Caledonia.
Habitat: The Scarlet Honeyeater lives in open forests and woodlands with a sparse understorey, especially round wetlands, and sometimes in rainforests. It can be seen in urban areas in flowering plants of streets, parks and gardens.
Seasonal movements: Resident in the north of its range, seasonally migratory in south, with movements associated with flowering of food plants. It is considered nomadic around Sydney, following autumn- and winter-flowering plants.
Feeding: The Scarlet Honeyeater feeds mainly on nectar and sometimes on fruit and insects. It tends to feed in the upper levels of the canopy, foraging in flowers and foliage, usually singly, in pairs or small flocks. Often evicted by larger, more aggressive honeyeaters such as friarbirds.
Breeding:
The Scarlet Honeyeater breeds in pairs, with the more conspicuous male calling and displaying to the quieter females. The small cup nest is suspended from a horizontal branch or in a fork, and is made from fine bark and grass bound with spider web and lined with fine plant materials. The female incubates the eggs alone, but both sexes feed the young. Up to three broods may be produced per season.
Calls: Males have a silvery tinkling song, which is sung from a prominent perch. Also, 'chiew chiew' contact calls made by both sexes.
Minimum Size: 9cm
Maximum Size: 11cm
Average size: 10cm
Average weight: 8g
Breeding season: July to January
Clutch Size: Usually 2
Incubation: 12 days
Nestling Period: 12 days

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
