DISTINCTIVE water bird, the largest in he region, when swimming the neck is held in a elegant curve. FAMILY gruops with parents are often seen. They mate for life.
TRY TO POST all British birds seen, but have not put up a SWAN for years, shame on me. Seen at Stodmarsh nature reserve Kent.

THANK YOU, for your visit and kind comments, will return the visit as soon as possible. Enjoy the Lords day, stay safe and well , God bless.......................Tomx.
It always amazes me how some birds with relatively long necks like this Green Heron can make it look like they don't have one at all.
The buff-necked ibis (theristicus caudatus), also known as the white-throated ibis, is a fairly large ibis found widely in open habitats of eastern and northern South America.
Its diet consists mainly of insects, spiders, frogs, reptiles, snails, invertebrates and small mammals found in soft soils. The female usually lays two to four eggs in a platform nest, made from twigs and branches, in a tree.
The Pantanal is a tropical wetland and the world's largest wetland of any kind. The Pantanal ecosystem is also thought to be home to 1000 bird species, 400 fish species, 300 mammalian species, 480 reptile species and over 9000 different subspecies of invertebrates.

Here is the ringneck drake that was near, but not quite as comfortable as, the hen posted yesterday.

You know the snow is getting deep when you're neck deep in it! 😁
A Dark-eyed Junco making the best of the cold snowy environment.
Never saw one perched off the ground. The hunters were out in the fields. Think the birds know if they get to the gates, they are safe.
This is the tide breaker located at New Brighton Merseyside, but climbing onto it with my camera and tripod was challenging at best...It was really slippy and neck breakingly risky...The things we do to get that shot. Lol.
Please press L on your keyboard. Thanks for looking 😊

The streak-necked flycatcher (Mionectes striaticollis) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae.
It is found in Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forests and heavily degraded former forest.
Red-necked Grebe's apparently starting a nesting project. I did not know that they will build a floating nest of rotting plant material, continuously adding material to it.
The Red-necked Grebe breeds on small inland lakes in Canada and Alaska, and winters along both coasts of North America. Boldly marked, vocal, and aggressive during the breeding season, it is quiet and subtly attired in winter.
Munching on what I think might be a snail. Taken in fading light on a small partially frozen-over pond where a few ring-necked ducks have been showing up around this time for the past several years. Without a better spot to hide, I stayed flat on the mud at the edge of the pond for quite a while, trying to be as inconspicuous as possible, but this was about as close as any of them came. Still a pretty big crop.
A male common, or ring-necked pheasant (Phasianus colchicus, Phasianidae) sits on a tree stump in pleasant lighting.
The ring-necked pheasant is a Eurasian bird that was introduced as a game bird in North America where it is widespread in the U.S. and parts of southern Canada. Although the bird reproduces in the wild, released captive bred birds are required to maintain adequate populations especially for hunting. I viewed this bird a few days after a release. I'd assume that the bird was part of the release given its lack of concern for my presence.

Very fortunate to see this rare bird closely - actively foraging along the shoreline.

Ring-necked Duck
There have been numbers of them on the river for a couple of weeks. Generally they are so far out it is hard to get a shot or even make out what they are. I had the lens extended and cropped as well. Expect them to be gone any day.
