The Red-winged starling (Onychognathus morio) is native to eastern Africa from Ethiopia to the Cape in South Africa. It prefers cliffs and mountainous areas for nesting, and has moved into cities and towns due to similarity to its original habitat. In this instance, into Stellenbosch, in the Western Cape province of South Africa.
Part of my photo session in the Zoo Duisburg.
It's heavily "lesser panda-focused" due to it being the topic of my term paper.
The days are still warm enough for Butterfly's, this Red Admiral flew past and landed very close, I managed to get this one shot, but as soon as i stepped forward, it flew off.
Red Crossbill (Loxia curvirostra). Crossbills are characterized by the mandibles crossing at their tips, which gives the group its English name. Using their crossed mandibles for leverage, crossbills are able to efficiently separate the scales of conifer cones and extract the seeds on which they feed. Adult males tend to be red or orange in colour, and females green or yellow, but there is much variation.
In North America, nine distinct red crossbill variants (referred to as call types) differing in vocalizations as well as beak size and shape are recognized. Each call type evolved to specialize on different species of conifer.
“Red", I write "is the color of life. It's blood, passion, rage. It's menstrual flow and after birth. Beginnings and violent end. Red is the color of love. Beating hearts and hungry lips. Roses, Valentines, cherries. Red is the color of shame. Crimson cheeks and spilled blood. Broken hearts, opened veins. A burning desire to return to white.” - Mary Hogan, Pretty Face

Grey and dismal here today. Had to go back to last year to find something to remind me of spring. :)
A quick visit to Morton Lochs (before the car park and hides are closed for renovation for next week) where the squirrels are feverishly stocking up their winter larders. Always on the move and at times just too close for my 300mm lens. I noticed several of them had obvious signs of squirrel pox/leprosy which was sad to see, but didn't seem to slow down those affected. This individual appeared to have no obvious signs, so hopefully some have immunity.
