The yellow-necked spurfowl or yellow-necked francolin (Pternistis leucoscepus) is a species of bird in the family Phasianidae. This species is named for the yellow patch found on its neck. Males of this species have been noted to have spurs on the back of their legs.
It has been noted that this bird is most active at dawn and dusk. The bird is also noted to be very adaptable, it can continue to live in land after agriculture begins, it only leaves lands when heavy human occupation begins.
The call of a yellow-necked spurfowl is a series of scratchy descending upslurs, up to seven in a series. Male yellow-necked spurfowl often call while standing on top of mounds of earth or rock, often termite mounds.
This beautiful male Yellow-necked Spufowl was photographed singing to its mate sitting on a bush during a late evening game drive in Samburu National Reserve, Kenya.
Gavicalis virescens. Sorting, culling, editing, even posting, has thoroughly got away from me. So for a while they're going to appear as I get to them, in any kind of order.
Somewhat of a redundancy in the title since at this time of year the Dickcissels are always singing.
Northern Waterthrush is often an elusive species, keeping low among vegetation close to water, more often heard than seen. But in breeding season birds can be seen perched up high and in the open, energetically singing to advertise territory. Such was the case with this individual seen along the Flowing Water Trail in Bow Valley Provincial Park. That bird-rich protected area is in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies, west of the city of Calgary in the province of Alberta, Canada.
I captured this Australian Reed Warbler sitting trying to hide among the reeds - but he was too tempted by my imitating courtship calls and snuck out for a look and gave me a reply!
*** Best viewed LARGE on Black!! ***
Have a terrific day and weekend everyone!
Thanks again for any comments, views or favorites -
always appreciated!!
Western Meadowlark is a species renowned for its lilting song, and the birds conduct their performances from a wide variety of perches — in this instance, a haybale. That choice is certainly appropriate for its preferred habitat of open fields. [Though mowing of agricultural areas can destroy nests.] This sighting was in southern Alberta, Canada.
The Marsh Frogs were in fine voice at RSPB Rainham marshes yesterday, and I was pleased to finally get a shot of those amazing vocal sacs in action!
Listen to: Purple Rain
I never meant to cause you any sorrow
I never meant to cause you any pain
I only wanted to one time to see you laughing
I only wanted to see you
Laughing in the purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
I only wanted to see you
Bathing in the purple rain
I never wanted to be your weekend lover
I only wanted to be some kind of friend (hey)
Baby, I could never steal you from another
It's such a shame our friendship had to end
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
I only wanted to see you
Underneath the purple rain
Honey, I know, I know
I know times are changing
It's time we all reach out
For something new, that means you too
You say you want a leader
But you can't seem to make up your mind
I think you better close it
And let me guide you to the purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
If you know what I'm singing about up here
C'mon, raise your hand
Purple rain, purple rain
I only want to see you
Only want to see you
In the purple rain
The Singing Ringing Tree near Burnley. One of the Lancashire Panopticans. This futuristic art installation made of steel pipes makes sounds as the wind passes through it.
An early start this morning to get to my secret spot on Dartmoor to photograph these beauties.There is a good population on Dartmoor and the Males are now holding their territories .
I wanted to capture an image of a singing male and was fortunate when this one started to sing just a few yards from me.
I am not a regular photographer of birds, although I enjoy looking at images of them, so I was very happy to spot this lovely Robin and even happier to have a long lens on my camera.
This is quite a heavy crop so I am pleased with the feather details captured by the Fuji 100-400 at its longest reach. Shame about the branches in the background but this Robin was very shy!
