Ever tried to to catch a little bird with your camera while it flies? Well, I never succeded, till I got this unusual example of avifauna... :D
It's eagle time on Coeur d'alene lake with the land locked Kokanee spawning. There were 370 eagles counted which is 100 more than the previous record. I haven't seen but a few so far.
Recently took a trip to Las Vegas, Nevada and visited the Floyd Lamb Park where I found this American Coot. Such an interesting bird, great in water but clumsy on land.

Whilst I realise that it's necessary to keep track of these released birds I've always been concerned as to whether the amount of leg rings is really necessary?
Good luck if you’re doing the Big Garden Birdwatch this weekend. Thought I’d share a 1st for me back on the 1st January. This Black headed Redstart. (aka Black Redstart (Male) caused quite a flutter with birders on the burrows. Uncommon here, I’ve never seen one so thanks to the guys who told me to watch out for it. Record not perfect video. Guess what - his little mate was a Wagtail😂. Have a great weekend whatever you are watching 😊

“With fewer than 100 breeding pairs in the UK, the black redstart is on the Red List of Birds of Conservation Concern. Is is also listed as a Schedule 1 species on The Wildlife and Countryside Act” (rspb.org.uk)

We told Norah that she can use the binoculars to go birdwatching, so she took them and kept an eye on Uncle Denny's house.
