Rockhopper penguins are distinguished by the irreverent crest of spiky yellow and black feathers that adorns their head. They are among the world's smallest penguins, standing about 20 inches tall and have blood-red eyes, a red-orange beak, and pink webbed feet.

An always interesting photo subject, the Anhinga offers a wide ranging pattern design depending on how they are posing. In this case the head and beak draped across the back. Since they are almost always in motion, the patterns change continuously. Here is one during mating season. See a very different pattern in the comments below.
Another photo I took last year just before I changed cameras. I don't have any photo of an echidna on my photostream and this is the best one I have so far. The echidna is a monotreme it and the platypus are the only egg laying mammals in the world.

Seemingly forelong, this Youngster is waiting for the return of a parent with food - let's hope not too long.

At the left side, the sharp peak like a beak is so called ''Bird Beak Mountain''. I was in another mountain top. :-) There is a traveling article about it, you can see the link in English.
A mini-shoot at Durham riverside yesterday, I was hoping to see the herons, but these guys are just as beautiful!
The Beaked Coralfish (Chelmon rostratus) has a very long snout and tall dorsal and anal fins. It has three orange bars and an ocellus on the dorsal fin rays. It occurs in tropical marine waters of the Indo-West Pacific. I saw this specimen at the Sydney Aquarium in Darling Harbour.

Platalea leucorodia - Eurasian Spoonbill
They came very close that day, to fish with the family ... the young adult, resting on the trunk, does not yet have her characteristic wrinkled beak ...
Many thanks for your much appreciated visits and comments
Take care of yourself and your loved ones
I'd love to know what this little discussion was about between these two mature Tree Swallows. It looked like they took turns "yelling" at each other with beaks wide open and then at times both at the same time as in this shot. Are they a pair having an argument or telling each other how much they care about each other?

Helgoland series: Beak up!
I watched the gannets raise their beak up into the air for some seconds shortly before they leave their partner, so it seems to be their way to say farewell.
Die Basstölpel strecken ihren Schnabel für mehrere Sekunden in die Luft kurz bevor sie ihren Partner verlassen und wegfliegen, es scheint also eine Verabschiedungsgeste zu sein.
