The grey seal population, in Norfolk, UK, is thriving. About half of the world's population live on the British Coast. Here are some of the adults.
La pastora de Ipiñaburu (Zeanuri) Puy Arrieta y esposa del pastor Jon Etxebarria volvió a subir con su rebaño a las verdes campas de Aldaminazpi, en Gorbeia. Será en esos parajes donde residirá el rebaño hasta finales de octubre, siguiendo la tradición de la trashumancia, que esta pareja mantiene viva en el valle desde hace unos cuantos años. Aprovechando la circunstancia, el grupo Ipiñaburuko Artzain Taldea ha vuelto a organizar una excursión para acompañar a la pastora hasta la residencia de verano de este rebaño numeroso. La comitiva partió a las 9.00 horas desde la cuadra de Ipiñaburu para al de unas horas llegar a Aldaminazpi.
Tres horas más tarde, pasado el mediodía, la expedición encabezada por las ovejas habrá llegado a las campas de Aldaminazpi. Será tiempo para comer un hamaiketako después de una mañana pasada por un sirimiri constante. La comitiva estuvo formada por jóvenes y adultos que disfrutaron de una mañana excelente en un lugar de encanto como es el parque natural de Gorbeia.
En esta imagen Puy saluda a los vecinos de Lambreabe al paso del rebaño por esa barriada de Zeanuri.

One of the most common and widespread sparrows in North America. Fairly large with a long, rounded tail. Overall coarsely patterned with gray and brown, usually with more reddish-brown wings and tail. Look especially for thick brown streaks on the underparts and a broad dark mustache stripe. Significant variation in plumage geographically: relatively pale and rusty in the southwestern U.S.; blacker streaking in California; overall dusky in the Pacific Northwest. Larger, longer-tailed and usually more rusty than Savannah Sparrow. Found in a variety of scrubby habitats both near and far from human development, especially edges of fields, often near water. Listen for husky "chimp" calls and melodic song with chips and trills. (eBird)

The masked lapwing (Vanellus miles), also known as the masked plover and often called the spur-winged plover or just plover in its native range, is a large, common and conspicuous bird native to Australia, particularly the northern and eastern parts of the continent, New Zealand and New Guinea. It spends most of its time on the ground searching for food such as insects and worms and has several distinctive calls. There are two subspecies; the southern novaehollandiae has distinctive black markings on the shoulder and side of the chest, and is sometimes recognized as a separate species, the black-shouldered lapwing (Vanellus novaehollandiae). These brown-black, white and yellow plovers are common in Australian fields and open land. The masked lapwing is the largest representative of the family Charadriidae. It measures from 30 to 37 cm in length and has a wingspan of 75–85 cm. The nominate subspecies (V. m. miles) weighs 191–300 g, while the southern race (V. m. novaehollandiae) is larger and weighs 296–412 g. The birds have a wide range of calls which can be heard at any time of the day or night: the warning call, a loud defending call, courtship calls, calls to its young, and others. Since this bird lives on the ground it is always alert and even though it rests it never sleeps properly. Masked lapwings are most common around the edges of wetlands and in other moist, open environments, but are adaptable and can often be found in surprisingly arid areas. They can also be found on beaches and coastlines. 41891
This must be one of the most difficult birds to photograph. The contrast between the head and back, and the white/salmon underparts make this especially difficult in bright sunlight. To get the bottle green of the head to show requires a bit of fancy post-processing. Sometimes it's better to photograph them when it's cloudy
Ibises are a group of long-legged wading birds in the family Threskiornithidae, that inhabit wetlands, forests and plains. Ibises usually feed as a group, probing mud for food items, usually crustaceans. It is widespread across much of Australia. It has a predominantly white plumage with a bare, black head, long down curved bill and black legs. They are monogamous and highly territorial while nesting and feeding. Most nest in trees, often with spoonbills or herons. Due to its increasing presence in the urban environment and its habit of rummaging in garbage, the species has acquired a variety of colloquial names such as tip turkey; and bin chicken, and in recent years has become an icon of popular culture, being regarded with passion, wit, and, in equal measure, affection and disgust. 41458

An adult Mountain Lion (Puma concolor) rests in the woods on the edge of a rocky ledge at the entrance of Glendale Cove off Knight Inlet on the west coast of Canada.
We were on a wildlife tour, primarily for Grizzly Bear, with Tide Rip Grizzly Tours out of Telegraph Cove on the northeast tip of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada.
It is a boat tour which holds about 10 people and you are out for most of the day. If I remember, it is about 90 minutes travel to Glendale Cove but you never know what you may encounter. In this case, it was their first Mountain Lion observation and we had about 5 minutes as it patiently observed us and the surrounding area before disappearing into the woods.
It is something I will never forget, thankfully with some photos to remind me of that once in a lifetime observation.

An couple immature eagles (all brown about 2 years and the one with white head and some white in chest about 4 years), keep a look out for fish as they migrate North for the summer.
Last of the Eagle images for year!
A perfect day of 80F/26C and not a cloud in the sky had me out in the canoe for an extended period yesterday, a portion of which had me gazing at eagles who apparently considered it lovely as well. While I can't say I'm a big fan of the feeding habits of these raptors, opportunistic feeders and scavengers who are known to prey on the eggs and young of other species (including my loons), I admit to feeling a distinct sense of awe in just looking at the size of them. They certainly create a presence.
While I often see individuals perched in spots around the lake, it is rare to see them playing as they seemed to be yesterday, alternately swooping and soaring in an acrobatic aerial display. Far above the adults, a youngster viewed the scene from altitude. The first comment photo catches a bit of this, and suggests their size in relation to fully grown shoreline trees. The second comment photo shows an individual just taking its leave upon my approach... probably as close as I've gotten. The lead photo is a more stylized (artsy) image of the departure, chosen as the feature specifically for the composition All obviously have a texture applied to give some interest to the "bluebird" sky.
The display of the eagles (and now the osprey) is one of the few times that I truly wish I had a better camera...but that would mean I would have to learn how to use it...;-) However, with all the mediocre to bad eagle shots I have in my archives, it would be nice to have a series of good ones...for their sake as well as mine.
Ejemplar de Mielero patirrojo, adulto maduro en plumaje nupcial (Cyanherpes cyaneus) con algunas curiosidades:
El mielero dorsioscuro o mielero patirrojo (Cyanerpes cyaneus) es una pequeña ave de la familia Thraupidae. Se distribuye en los trópicos del Nuevo Mundo, desde el sur de México hasta Perú, Bolivia, el centro de Brasil y las Guayanas. También en Trinidad y Tobago, y en Cuba, isla donde posiblemente haya sido introducido.
Los adultos miden 12 cm de longitud y pesan 14 g; tienen un pico mediano, negro y ligeramente curvo. Los machos son de plumaje azul violeta, con las alas negras con una raya azul violeta en la mitad de las mismas, y la parte inferior, visible sólo en vuelo, es de color amarillo limón. La cola y la espalda también son negras, y también un antifaz alrededor de los ojos. Las patas son rojas brillantes. Tienen una corona azul turquesa.
El macho adulto es una de las pocas aves tropicales que cambia su plumaje durante la época de reproducción, fuera de época de cría las partes azul violeta de su plumaje se vuelven verdes, la espalda y la coronilla también se vuelven verdes; quedando así con un plumaje similar al de una hembra pero con alas negra.

Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment and faved my images. Enjoy the day.
Adults of Plagiognathus arbustorum can reach a length of 3.6–4.5 millimetres (0.14–0.18 in). These small mirids show a rather variable color, ranging from almost black to pale olive-green. Usually the head and the pronotum, the 1st and 2nd antennal segments and the margins of the hind femora are wholly dark. Forewings and pronotum are covered in dark hairs. The nymphs are green, with a black drawing on the legs.
Adults of these mirids can be found from July to October. They are polyphagous, usually feeding on many different herbaceous plants, but especially on Urticaceae, Asteraceae, Lamiaceae, Fabaceae, Rosaceae and Apiaceae species.
Both adults and the nymphs prefer to suck on the buds, on flowers and immature fruits of their host plants. They feed occasionally on aphids and honeydew.

A chunky, large-headed bird of open areas, usually found perched on wires or flying around in search of insects. Soft gunmetal gray with white underparts. Often found pressed together in pairs or tight groups when at rest. Sometimes flies in the same areas as swallows and swifts, but has a much thicker build, with triangular, somewhat starling-like wings. The only woodswallow throughout most of its range. Song is a somewhat myna-like series of sweet warbling and harsh chattering. Also gives nasal scolding “nyeh”, comparable to a jay or treepie. (eBird)
-----------------
Frequently seen but not photographed. I finally found a pair on the power lines, then this one came a little closer and I could get a better look. The only angle I had was into the sun so he was pretty shadowed in the final image. A little editing brought out his subtle colours.
Despite the name and appearance, this bird is not a swallow. It is actually in the same family as the Australian Magpie!

The red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) is a species of tree squirrel in the genus Sciurus common throughout Europe and Asia. The red squirrel is an arboreal, primarily herbivorous rodent.
In Great Britain, Ireland, and in Italy numbers have decreased drastically in recent years. This decline is associated with the introduction by humans of the eastern grey squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) from North America. However, the population in Scotland is stabilising due to conservation efforts, awareness and the increasing population of the pine marten, a European predator that selectively controls grey squirrels.
The red squirrel has a typical head-and-body length of 19 to 23 cm (7+1⁄2 to 9 in), a tail length of 15 to 20 cm (6 to 8 in), and a mass of 250 to 340 g (9 to 12 oz). Males and females are the same size. The red squirrel is somewhat smaller than the eastern grey squirrel which has a head-and-body length of 25 to 30 cm (10 to 12 in) and weighs between 400 and 800 g (14 oz and 1 lb 12 oz).
The long tail helps the squirrel to balance and steer when jumping from tree to tree and running along branches and may keep the animal warm during sleep.
The red squirrel, like most tree squirrels, has sharp curved claws to help it to climb and descend broad tree trunks, thin branches, and even house walls. Its strong hind legs let it leap gaps between trees. The red squirrel also can swim.
The coat of the red squirrel varies in colour with time of year and location. There are several coat colour morphs ranging from black to red. Red coats are most common in Great Britain; in other parts of Europe and Asia different coat colours coexist within populations, much like hair colour in some human populations.
The underside of the squirrel is always white-cream in colour. The red squirrel sheds its coat twice a year, switching from a thinner summer coat to a thicker, darker winter coat with noticeably larger ear-tufts (a prominent distinguishing feature of this species) between August and November. A lighter, redder overall coat colour, along with the ear-tufts (in adults) and smaller size, distinguish the Eurasian red squirrel from the American eastern grey squirrel.
The red colour is for camouflage when seen against the bark of pine trees.
Red squirrels occupy boreal, coniferous woods in northern Europe and Siberia, preferring Scots pine, Norway spruce and Siberian pine. In western and southern Europe they are found in broad-leaved woods where the mixture of tree and shrub species provides a better year-round source of food. In most of the British Isles and in Italy, broad-leaved woodlands are now less suitable due to the better competitive feeding strategy of introduced grey squirrels.

I recently posted and image of a nymph, which I will put in the first comment box.
The genus Pan consists of two extant species: the common chimpanzee and the bonobo. Taxonomically, these two ape species are collectively termed panins; however, both species are more commonly referred to collectively using the generalized term chimpanzees, or chimps. Together with humans, gorillas, and orangutans they are part of the family Hominidae (the great apes, or hominids). Native to sub-Saharan Africa, common chimpanzees and bonobos are currently both found in the Congo jungle, while only the common chimpanzee is also found further north in West Africa. Both species are listed as endangered. Chimpanzees and bonobos are equally humanity's closest living relatives. As such, they are among the largest-brained and most intelligent primates: they use a variety of sophisticated tools and construct elaborate sleeping nests each night from branches and foliage. Their learning abilities have been extensively studied. 60741
Saw so many of these birds sitting on the jetty at Cape Nome and at the harbour. This one was flying over the Bering Sea while Thick-billed Murres, Pacific Loons and a Black Guillemot swam below.
One of my favorite birds, the Hermit Thrush, is migrating through The Poconos currently.
This one was photographed in the yard yesterday morning, and was just giving its "chuck" call.
In the coming months their ethereal songs will be resonating throughout the forests around my woodland home.
