Isn't that what some wrinkles are called? This tulip, even though it hasn't much life left, still has a lot of beauty, in my mind. The wrinkles give it so much more character ;)

A rather shy Laughingthrush - more than many of the other species in the region. These are quite colorful and have some intricate patterns on their body. They are found in smaller groups / partiers unlike other Laughing thrushes.

The birds are found only in the Himalayan region in the country and maybe parts of Myanmar and China. The density of these birds seem to be much lesser compared to the other birds - we sighted the others in several places, but not this species. I am not sure why that is.

The hotel had a small pool and many birds would just drop by to take a dip and maybe have fun.

Thank you so much in advance for your views, feedback and faves.

With heartfelt and genuine thanks for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day, be well, keep your eyes open, appreciate the beauty surrounding you, enjoy creating, stay safe and laugh often! ❤️❤️❤️

This wild laughing kookaburra accepted hand held raw meat and it allowed my daughter to pat its head and back.

At one stage it had a piece of raw meat in its beak and another between its legs on the balcony handrail and I could see it thinking "what do I do now". After about 20 seconds it flew off and left the first piece in a safe place and then quickly returned to collect the second piece.

It is a native of eastern Australia and belongs to the Kingfisher sub-family Halcyonine. It is almost exclusively carnivorous and preys on a variety of small animals and snakes. . . .Sigma 70 -300mm f4 -5.6 APO DG Macro.

Black-headed gull in Winter plumage/ the head is predominantly Black in the Summer months.

The genus name Chroicocephalus is from Ancient Greek khroizo, "to colour" and kephale "head".

The specific ridibundus is Latin for "laughing" from ridere "to laugh"

(Chroicocephalus ridibundus, Syn: Larus ridibundus)

Thanks for your Views Faves and Comments, have all a nice day. 🍂✌

This is a very merry couple of Laughing Kookaburras, annoucing every new day with lots of laughs before the sunrise.

A very serious laughing kookaburra.

Well, I hope you're not getting sick of my Striated Pardalote, Sacred Kingfisher and Kookaburra spam, today I have one of each.

Laughing Kookaburra, Woordlands Historic Park.

The Laughing Gull is the dominant species on the Texas coast. They are year-long residents along the Gulf coast and up the Atlantic coastline. They breed as far north as the coast of Maine. They will winter as far south as both coasts of northern South America.

Notice how nearly identical this gull is to the Bonaparte's Gull, except the bill and legs on the BG are dark red and the eye ring is a bit more pronounced. Its call is different, too, as it does sound like a laugh.

I found this bird in Texas. Like many gulls, it didn't seem to mind people. I was happy he posed for me. The sky was overcast, so I didn't get any gleaming light on the bird, but he still presents well here.

Or at least kind of smiling

Cav, I don't know what it is, But I'm truly happy we can laugh together and pull these weird faces over Wine and Coke & Whiskey. I feel truly bless I can be so open with you. So I rise my glass and cheers to memories, tons of laughs, funny face, getting to know each other more. and to the wine because we are both wild and crazy.

You start off by pretending

You're a dancer with grace

You wiggle till they're

Giggling all over the place

And then you get a great big custard pie in the face

Make 'em laugh

Make 'em laugh

Make 'em laugh
