This was a very interesting shot when you could read that it is the first time I have seen a bird with four wings. The picture is taken at the Farne Islands in Northumberland

Flapping Owl

This bridge joins counties Waterford and Kilkenny. It is known locally as "The Cat Flap" because it lets the people from Kilkenny (the Cats) in and out. The fog was so thick you couldn't see the top of it.

DDC-Blown Away

When she chases the ball her ears lean backwards from the breeze she creates.

The Surf Scoter has the most elaborate bill of the 26 or so duck species that can be found in our neighbourhood. This is the closest I have ever seen one for getting a decent picture.

Cormorant flapping and airing its wings at Weymouth Dorset UK a few years ago now. Came across this shot while looking through some old photos.

I love the wing shapes of flying birds.

It was a great privilege to be able to get so close to the wildlife in the Falklands. This Rockhopper had been preening after a shower in the freshwater spring and finished with a final flap of it's wings.

...............flap your wings.
