"Birds Flock Together" (one bird a day ♥ only birds)
View allAll Photos Tagged Flock
One of a flock of 70 or so birds that turned up to feed on trees in the car park of the local Miners Welfare Club, which were part of the major irruption to Britain in winter 2016/2017. I remember seeing the sighting on Facebook Notts Birders page at 10:30 am that morning and made a rapid dash up there in the car that lunchtime, for a very entertaining and fairly fruitful afternoon's photography; all the more entertaining (?!) for having to look out for and dodge welfare club members driving in (and out!) from time to time.
Thanks for viewing and thank you for your comments and faves

19 May 1924 was the first day radio listeners heard a cello playing while nightingales sang, live from a Surrey garden. The cellist was Beatrice Harrison.
Harrison first became aware of the birds one summer evening as she practised her instrument in the garden. As she played she heard a nightingale answer and then echo the notes of the cello. When this duet was repeated night after night Harrison persuaded the BBC that it should be broadcast. Engineers carried out a successful test and the following night the live broadcast took place. Harrison played and the nightingales, eventually, joined in.
The public reaction was such that the experiment was repeated the next month and then every spring for the following 12 years..listeners saying as they listened they heard their own garden birds begin to sing...

Had the chance to drive through an area I call the Snow Geese corridor and came across a pond with a pretty sizable group. Kind of proves the old saying about geese... :)

Perché volare? Semplice. Non sono felice a meno che non ci sia un po’ di spazio tra me e la terra.

The Little Flock Missionary Baptist Church in Somerville, TX, an old but apparently still active church. When I arrived I was greeted with a little flock of vultures coming out of the remains of one of the tower and they were kind enough to pose for me.
As always, your faves and comments are appreciated. Constructive criticism and suggestions are especially welcome as I believe they help to make me a better photographer. Thank you for taking the time to look at my photos.

Northern Shovelers feed by dabbling for plant food, often by swinging its bill from side to side and using the bill to strain food from the water. We spotted this group as they flew in front of us and this was an opportunistic shot. Despite their stout appearance, shovelers are nimble flyers. We love the large beak, which sets it apart from other ducks, and the beautiful breeding colors that it displays.
Tonight, a little before sunset, the evening mist had already begun to appear, when a terrible noise was heard. A large flock of crows was looking for a place to spend the night and eat something early tomorrow. They chose an excellent place because in my neighborhood there are many walnuts still left on the tree.
This flock of young ewes had been grazing in Witcombe Valley over the year. I was out walking one day in October, when I watched the sheep being rounded up for a health check. The shepherd had two dogs, one young and over enthusiastic, the other more experienced, she released the younger one towards the end of the gathering and there was quite a lot of shouting to get him to curb his enthusiasm for the job!
According to the Partners in Flight database (2019), the American robin is the most abundant landbird in North America. The species is active mostly during the day and assembles in large flocks at night. Its diet consists of invertebrates (such as beetle grubs, earthworms, and caterpillars), fruits, and berries.
Part of a flock of 70 Waxwings today in Bridge of Allan. I got called to a house there as 4 had unfortunately hit a window, 3 of which were stunned and one unfortunately expired.
