3rd Winter Herring Gull sounding off. Already quite grey on the mantle, a lot of the coverts are also grey but lots of juvenile-type feathers still remain. The bill is becoming paler but still retains dark on the tip

Long pond is a favorite location of mine to photograph through the year.
Down around the corner, half a mile from here
See them long trains run, and you watch them disappear
Without love, where would you be now
Without love.....

Aglaiocercus kingi (Long-tailed Sylph / Cometa verdiazul)
Sylphs (Aglaiocercus) are short-billed, long-tailed hummingbirds of humid montane forests of the Andes. The Long-tailed Sylph is the most widespread member of the genus, and occurs from Venezuela south to Bolivia.
This is the only species of sylph on the east slopes of the Andes. In Colombia and Ecuador, it also is found on the western slopes of the Andes. This species forages at all heights in the forest, and at forest edge.

Another LTT image from the garden. It seemed to be using the stems from a couple of eaten berries on this Cotoneaster branch to prop up its tail.
Long-eared Owls are lanky owls that often seem to wear a surprised expression thanks to long ear tufts that typically point straight up like exclamation marks. These nocturnal hunters roost in dense foliage, where their camouflage makes them hard to find, and forage over grasslands for small mammals. Long-eared Owls are nimble flyers, with hearing so acute they can snatch prey in complete darkness. In spring and summer, listen for their low, breathy hoots and strange barking calls in the night.

A long abandoned cottage in Connemara, West of Ireland. The hearth grown cold; its people moved on; their hardships forgotten.
This youngster got very excited when a barn owl flew overhead carrying prey
Taken in the golden hour, Cambridgeshire Fens
This Long-billed Dowitcher was photographed near Utqiaġvik, Alaska, during breeding season, standing tall on a tundra perch like he was auditioning for a solo in the Arctic choir. And he was. Males take the high ground to deliver rapid, piping calls—keek-keek-keek-keek-keek!—part love song, part turf warning. Rivals are notified. Females, ideally, are swooning. If not, well—he still looks fabulous doing it.
Dowitchers are shorebirds engineered for mud. Their bills don’t just stab and slurp—they pinch. The flexible tip works like forceps, able to grasp prey deep in the muck without opening the beak and filling it with sludge. It’s like using chopsticks with built-in fingers.
Inside those bill tips are Herbst corpuscles—pressure-sensitive nerves that detect the faintest wiggle from prey hiding below the surface. Even when they can’t see the food, they can feel it moving.
He’s a performer, a mud-prober, and a living multitool—proving once again that Arctic love songs are better with tweezers.
What an amazing find and sight. I've never been able to find one of these guys in the wild and here one was sitting in a relative clearing in a coniferous tree. This Long Eared was constantly scanning the surrounding area (this park is loaded with squirrels) until finally it decided to close it's eyes and return to napping. Although large in the frame this is heavy crop for an A7RIV.
