Tiny, hyperactive songbird with an uneven white eyeing, plain olive overall, with slightly greenish edges on the wing and tail feathers. The namesake ruby crown is only present on males, and usually concealed. When agitated, it can be flared up into a bright expressive crest.

I spent a lot of time trying for a lorikeet shot on the recent trip to Mannum, but they were absolutely hyperactive and just would not stay still with their heads in an open pose. Finally one stopped feeding long enough to stick his head and to say hello!
Pied Wagtail. These hyperactive little birds are seldom at rest for more than a few seconds. His quarry wasn't visible.

The Bananaquit is one of the great sugar lovers of the bird world. This hyperactive little bird drinks nectar by probing into flowers, piercing flower bases with its sharp, curved bill, or visiting hummingbird feeders. Aruba.
I was adding coffee grinds to my flower bed soil and I think I added too much to my little yellow flowers. Does anyone have a pill to treat hyperactivity in flowers?
The Little Egret constantly moves one of it legs in small rapid motions to flush out fish and eel. Here "seen in action".
The little egret is a small, hyperactive ‘white heron’ with a slender black bill. First recorded from New Zealand in 1944, there are 2-3 little egrets present here most years, with single birds often staying at the same site for many consecutive years. The little egret is a small entirely white heron, with yellow facial skin and a rapier-like black bill. Its legs and bill are black, with yellow soles to its long toes. The Little Egret is about half the size and weight of a White Heron / Kotuku.
I spent a half hour trying to photograph these tiny hyperactive wasps. It's fantastic to have them in the garden.
Red-flanked Bluetail or also known as a Orange-flanked bush-Robin. It is found in the central and northern regions of Finland and eastward through the northern regions of Russia to the Pacific Ocean. In the winter months, it migrates into North and South Korea, throughout China and Thailand. This is the first sighting in New Jersey. It brought people from all over the east coast to this small community. I was lucky to get this shot. It is very hyperactive. Manchester township, Ocean County NJ.
Step 1: Find and Save
First of all, our pretty goldfinch needs to find something tasty to eat. Once that's done, it's important to show your presence in order to convince potential interested parties that you don't want to compete. And then of course he has to make sure that he doesn't become breakfast himself. After all, there are two cats living on the property (birds are always a bit hyperactive and stressed anyway, which is not surprising with a heart rate of 300 to 800 beats per minute).
Step 2: A quick try
Maybe it's really easy and I'll be out of here in no time and up to the cherry tree? So he first tries the supposedly easiest route, which (as so often in life) ends up being the more strenuous one.
Step 3: Replanning and Realignment:
After plan 1 failed miserably, the gentleman finally takes some time and takes a closer look at the matter. He is looking for a stable position with the best possible access to resources. Of course not without keeping an eye on his surroundings the whole time (cats and stuff, you know that).
Step 4: Breakfast
Yammi, delicious sunflower seeds. We haven’t had this for a long time.
Enjoy your meal.
Schritt 1: Finden und Sichern
Zu Allererst muss unser hübscher Stieglitz erst einmal etwas leckeres zum Essen finden. Ist das dann geschafft gilt es Präsenz zu zeigen um eventuelle Interessenten gleich davon zu überzeugen, dass man keine Lust auf Mitbewerber hat. Und dann muss er sich natürlich vergewissern, das er selbst nicht zum Frühstück wird. Immerhin leben hier zwei Katzen auf dem Grundstück (Vögel sind ja von Grund auf sowieso immer etwas hyperaktiv und getresst, was bei einer Herzfrequenz von 300 bis 800 Schlägen pro Minute auch nicht verwundert).
Schritt 2: Ein schneller Versuch
Vielleicht gehts ja ganz einfach und ich bin in null komma nichts hier wieder weg und oben auf dem Kirschbaum ? Also versucht er erst einmal den vermeintlich einfachsten Weg, der (wie so oft im Leben) schlußendlich der anstrengendere ist.
Schritt 3: Neuplanung und Neuausrichtung:
Nachdem Plan 1 kläglich gescheitert ist nimmt der Herr sich nun endlich Zeit und schaut sich die Sache mal genauer an. Er sucht nach einer stabilen Position mit best möglichem Zugang zu den Ressourcen. Natürlich nicht, ohne die ganze Zeit die Umgebung im Auge zu behalten (Katzen und so, ihr kennt das ja).
Schritt 4: Frühstück
Yammi, Leckere Sonnenblumenkerne, hatten wir lange nicht.
Mahlzeit.

I have seen a good number of photos of these hyperactive birds of late. Wow, do they flit around with pace.
This photo was taken within the grounds of Ripley Castle where we came across a small number of these minute birds. Alas I was with my wife and another couple so didn't really have time to be patient and hang around awaiting a better view. I do however have many dozen photos that seem to have been focussed on the birds rear. Perhaps Ian lots hunt for food it berries its head in the foliage.
One of many pics for my friend Raju and his son, Babu, on International Children's Day. The pizza joint's wall design made for a nice background canvas. This image was taken without any external flash or light source, but the neutral white artificial lighting of the restaurant, combined with the bright afternoon sunlight coming in through the large glass windows, along with an exposure compensation of +1.7 at ISO 2 000, actually worked out okay thanks to a lot of post-processing and Topaz DeNoise. Although the Nikkor 50mm F1.4 G is a sharp and fast lens with great colour for portraiture, I did struggle a bit keeping up with a hyperactive kid in terms of the autofocus in low light and the lack of VR on the lens.
This was a really hyperactive insect (as these usually are). I observed (and took some bad photos of) an interesting behaviour - the wasp was going around stinging aphids. Later I discovered that the wasp oviposits in the Aphids that then get captured by Crabronid wasps like Pemphredon and the Chrysidid larva ends up eating their stash.
Con lo hiperactivo que eras, claro, te acabaste cayendo del nido ante la desesperación de tus padres y nuestra frustración de no poder retornarte a él. Sabíamos que eras un jilguero y, aunque teníamos ya la experiencia de Pi Uno y Pi Dos, contigo prepararte para poder ser libre fue mucho más retador. Estabas casi cuando la asociación que te acogió cogió nuestro testigo. Hoy seguro que luces ya la característica careta roja de tu raza y surcas el cielo mientras el viento la peina. Vive libre y con los que son como tú.
With how hyperactive you were, of course, you ended up falling out of the nest. Your parents desperated and we frustrated as we were not able to return you to it. We knew you were a goldfinch and, although we already had the experience of Pi One and Pi Two, preparing you to be free was much more challenging. You were nearly ready when the association that welcomed you took our baton. Today you will surely wear the characteristic red mask of your race and you will fly through the sky while the wind combs it. Live free and with those who are like you.

One of the hardest things I had to master as a photographer was correctly cataloging images. I still remember my dad going over each film slide and making notations before sending it out to be printed, but I never thought that step was critical. Now I realize how wrong I was. For example, this image was taken in 2013 while I was still living in the bay area, and it’s the final image from a series of pictures of Granuja Falls that I took during a trip to Uvas Canyon.
Usually, when I come back from a location, I am very excited about transferring the images to my computer for further scrutiny. And usually, what happens is that in my hyperactive brain, I will fixate on a couple of photos that get processed. If I have another trip planned soon enough, the unprocessed images will get forgotten, and the cycle repeats. Sometimes when I am homebound, I will check back on my pictures and find a good one, like in the case of this image, and will be able to process and post it. Still, over the years, I have learned that a good chunk of the photos doesn’t get processed due to the chaotic nature of my cataloging. Since last year or so, I have been undertaking the painstaking process of going over my past images and establishing a structured and repeatable image cataloging process. Already it has been providing rich dividends by identifying some great pictures that otherwise would have stayed buried in my computer.
... to photograph the THOUSANDS of Rosella's that flit around me.
They are such a skittery, hyperactive bird that getting them to stay in one spot long enough to photograph has been almost impossible!
They must have had sympathy for me on Friday when I was on the verandah contemplating throwing my box over as they stayed long enough for me to get my camera and get a photograph.
The three of them posed so nicely as well, all looking in the same direction.
When flocks of these vivid red and electric blue birds descend on the trees in front of me its a fabulous sight!
Oh Wow my Little Rosella's made Explore #255 29th July
Fed up with the snow now! It's -6deg here this morning, and Thea's school is closed, but as Mummy and Daddy are able to get to work, guess who gets to look after the hyperactive, gorgeous, exhausting almost 5 year old ALL DAY!! What with Peter(who is not well - a chest infection) AND Thea, it is going to be a long day!
Never mind - there are cakes to bake, marzipan to make and apply to the Christmas cake, brandy to pour down my throat as well as onto the cake ( actually, I don't drink normally, but it sounded like fun!), drawings to do, a Christmas tree to erect and decorate.....we could manage OK.....Specially if I resort to the telly......bad grandma.....
Don't let the drab coloration fool you - these hyperactive birds are anything but calm and docile in their erratic movements.
The Reddish Egret is one of the rarest egrets in North America. It's easily distinguished from other egrets and herons by its shaggy appearance, hyperactive feeding behavior, and pink-and-black bill.
Reddish Egret numbers in the U.S. were decimated by plume hunters in the 19th century, and populations never fully recovered. Like Snowy and Wilson's Plovers, this species is dependent on coastal habitats for successful foraging and breeding—the same areas that are vulnerable to sea level rise caused by climate change. Habitat loss is another problem for this bird.
Willie Wagtail, Rhipidura leucophrys

With a growing family on the way, a Wagtail's life is hyperactive.
Fortunatley this pair have a large grassed carpark surround to work at.
After seeing a few males a couple of weeks back, I went back to the same spot to try to find some females. The finding was not the hard part, but taking a photo was one of my biggest challenges in insect photography yet: 1. they are extremely hyperactive and spend about 2 seconds per flower, 2. they are fair sized so when hitting the flower the stalk bent and swung, 3 it was quite windy. After some perseverance I managed a handful of shots that showed a bee, not a blob. This one nicely shows off the long dark hairs on the scopa, characteristic of this rare species.
The hyperactive long-tailed tits (or as I call it: a small feather ball with a tail) always come to forage in groups in winter.
Although seen all year, blue tits have an affinity with springtime, hopping busily among blossom-laden branches, wearing pale-yellow and blue plumage that seems to echo the season’s cheering daffodils and bluebells. Small, fluffy-looking and hyperactive, their restless activity has its own charm Holes in trees make preferred nesting sites

Contractor Norman Hudson watches his new remodel project, a house built on 1914 on St. Helena Road. And there is an adorable, hyperactive dog with a piece of wood in his mouth.
The dog was a blur in most photos, but a few came out sharp enough.
The house was completely destroyed in the 2020 wildfires.
The great tits were hyperactive on this lovely early spring day. They became very prominent in our cities and parks.

Oh my, you just can't help it but love these Little Egret don't you? A vagrant to NZ, the little egret is a small, hyperactive ‘white heron’ with a slender black bill. Little egrets are scarce annual migrants to New Zealand, arriving in autumn and departing in early spring, with some individuals remaining over summer. They are usually seen as single birds, with the largest New Zealand flock being five birds.
Last Tuesday evening I went a few hours searching for this beauty, the Silver-studded Blue.
It was a difficult task, with the wind and hyperactive butterflies.
But I managed to capture them, this is one of the pics I made.
Handheld shot.
They always are always active- hyperactive!!!! 2 boys. Philo and Berry

.. taken on my morning walk.. just about sunrise.. squirrels here are very small and hyperactive.. fun to watch but they can be a pest on window screens.
Thanks for looking in! - Have a great day!
And now for something completely different-riverfront birds.
It so rare that these hyperactive birds pause.

Thunderbirds Babu:
Thunderbirds Babu is the brains and brawn of the first Popular music troupe, rather Ganamela troupe in Trivandrum. He named it Thunderbirds, and hence he came to be known as Thunderbirds Babu. His name is familiar to most senior musicians in Kerala. He preferred to render the old Hindi melodies of Kishore Kumar, Muhammed Rafi, Mukesh, Manna Dey and Saigal. But, more than his singing abilities, his acuity in introducing ingenious ideas and his efforts to implement them is what I admired the most.
It's a fact that most musicians are tender-hearted and Babuchettan, as I called him, is no exception. Despite being a humble, loving, poor soul, many people despised him for unknown reasons.
I realize that he lived at least 25 years ahead of his generation. Those jealous of him taunted him openly and in hiding. He often got blamed for others' mistakes, and the gentleman turned out a reprobate to many people who had only heard about him. Though I found him cheerful and lively, I have noticed that he often appeared lost in thoughts. I suspected his 'hyperactivity' to be his way of dealing with some problem or difficulties that occupied his mind, which probably kept bothering him.
I met him when he formed 'The Rubbish Orchestra'. Rubbish is the name suggested by the great Indian sculptor Kanayi Kunhiraman when we approached him seeking a name suggestion for a music troupe that sings Indian language songs and plays Western instrumental music. Without a second thought, he quipped, " Rubbish", and it got stuck. Being active and dynamic, Babuchettan had the knack to approach the right people the right way, so there was no shortage of programs.
I was one of the two tenderfoots in the team, and I met most of the senior artists of those days through Rubbish Orchestra. Being very elder to me, probably my father's age, he considered me a child and yet regarded me like all the other artists. Still, I have noticed that he was a bit careful and seldom reserved when communicating with me.
Once during a rehearsal break, when other artists left for refreshments and smoking, I asked him why he couldn't try 'Mere Naina Sawan Bhado', which is one of my favourites. With a mischievous look and a smile, he turned his head to gaze outside through the window. I thought he either ignored my question or got distracted by something when he suddenly started humming to set the correct pitch. He sang it beautifully without any accompaniment as I listened and watched in awe. Once over, I shook his hand, and he said that it was the first time he was singing it for a 'listener'. As he rendered it superbly, I requested that he add the song to his song list. He refused as he considered his rendition of that song not up to the mark.
'The Rubbish' slowly disbanded following an album release, on which some members of the band suffered substantial monetary losses. Being the production organizer, he was blamed for that too, and he slowly vanished from the scene. I thought he would soon rise like a Phoenix, but while travelling on a bus, somebody hurled a stone that hit his eye, and he lost vision in one eye. He stopped singing, and the bright, vivacious man lived a detached, secluded life consequently.
Later in life, when he badly needed someone's care, a lady less than half his age fell in love with him, and they started living together. Of course, he was ridiculed for that too. Eventually, he died without making headlines. Nobody cared.

The tiniest bird in Europe, the hyperactive Goldcrest migrates a long way - in the winter from Scandinavia to Western Europe, but some also arrive all the way from Eastern Siberia or India. No wonder they seem to be eating all the time.
Every day they need to eat twice their own body weight in insects. OK, that's a mere 10 or so grams, but 10 grams of insects, that's a lot of insects!
Anyway, fascinating birds!

Seen at the seaside of Spieka-Neufeld (Germany, Lower Saxony).
The distance was >30m. The bird was very nervous and hyperactive as known from this species. So it was very difficult for me to track it with the camera.
The RAW file had been developed with DXO Photolab 2 and then scaled with PSE15 (cropped about 100%) !
