A shimmer darts through morning's gleam,
As if the dawn released a dream.
With feathers forged in light's embrace,
The sunbird dances, full of grace.
Emerald, ruby, sapphire fire—
Each hue a note in nature’s choir.
No painter’s brush, no poet’s pen
Can hold the glow it shows again.
It doesn’t seek the thundered praise,
Just nectar sipped through golden haze.
Yet every flutter, every flight
Transforms the sky with colored light.
So small, so swift, yet grand its role—
A flicker bright that stirs the soul.
In bloom and breeze, in branch and sky,
Iridescent beauty passes by.

Upon the dawn, so soft and bright,
A sunbird flits in golden light.
With feathers kissed by morning's hue,
In crimson, green, and sapphire blue.
It hovers light from bloom to bloom,
A whisper sweet, a soft perfume.
Its tiny heart beats fast and free,
A dancer in the sky's decree.
The nectar calls, so rich, so sweet,
With wings aglow, it finds its treat.
A guardian of the blossoms fair,
It spreads the seeds with tender care.
Oh, sunbird small, with colors bold,
A living gem, a tale retold.
In nature's song, you play your part,
A fleeting joy, a work of art.
My very first owl! And also my very first shot of an owl in flight. A little achievement... We spotted this owl quite unexpectedly as it flew past near a meadow dirt road. It was around 9 PM, and it was flying low, snatching prey now and then, barely paying attention to us. On the first evening the shots turned out too dark, but I managed to capture this moment again when I returned to the same spot the following evening. This time, more successfully...

The great blue heron (Ardea herodias) is a large wading bird in the heron family Ardeidae, common near the shores of open water and in wetlands
The Northern Lapwing, also known simply as the Lapwing, is a medium-sized wader bird native to the UK. It's characterised by its striking appearance, with a black and white plumage, a distinctive crest on its head, and a long, slender bill. Lapwings are commonly found in wetlands, fields, and grasslands across the UK, where they feed on insects, worms, and other small invertebrates. They're known for their acrobatic flight displays during the breeding season, which involve aerial maneuvers and loud calls. Despite being a familiar sight in rural areas, Lapwing populations have declined in recent years due to habitat loss and changes in farming practices. Conservation efforts are underway to protect and restore their habitats.

A close encounter with the Great Crested Grebe — alert, sleek, and just emerging from a dive. Droplets cling to its feathers as it glides silently through the gently rippling water, a shadow in motion.
Caught mid-launch, this juvenile marsh harrier (Circus aeruginosus) exploded from the reeds like it had just remembered an urgent appointment. Look at that wing twist—part ballet, part bar fight. Shot during a calm walk that turned into a chaos of feathers in 0.2 seconds. Nature’s got jump scares too.
A fun fact about the House Finch (Haemorhous mexicanus) is that they have a wide range of vocalizations and are excellent song mimics. They can imitate the songs of other bird species, as well as various human-made sounds like car alarms and cell phone ringtones. Male House Finches often incorporate these imitations into their repertoire to attract mates and establish their territory. So, if you hear a House Finch singing a medley of different tunes, it may not be just their own song but a delightful mix of imitations as well!

📷 Captured the majestic Great Cormorant in all its glory! 🐦✨ This magnificent bird, known for its sleek black plumage and slender frame, is an expert diver and fisherman. With its long, curved neck and piercing blue eyes, it exudes an air of elegance and determination.
🌊 Watching the Great Cormorant perched on the rocks, I was captivated by its grace and skill. These birds are truly masters of the water, effortlessly gliding through the waves and disappearing beneath the surface in search of their next meal.
🐟 Fun fact: Great Cormorants have a unique hunting technique! After catching a fish, they often surface and toss it into the air before swallowing it headfirst. It's a remarkable sight to witness their agile movements and instinctive behavior.
🌿 Nature never ceases to amaze me, and encountering this Great Cormorant was a reminder of the incredible biodiversity that surrounds us. Let's cherish and protect these beautiful creatures and their habitats so that future generations can also experience their wonder.
