Wegen nicht behebbarer Probleme mit meinem Account (ich erhalte keine Email-Nachrichten mehr) ziehe ich bald um. In Zukunft findest Du meine Bilder über die Personensuche unter “Manni.Aigner”. Ich würde mich freuen, wenn wir in Kontakt blieben.
Schöne Grüße

Because of not remediable problems with my account I’m moving soon. In future you can find my photos by using the people finder tool for “Manni.Aigner”. I would be happy, if we stayed in contact.

Buff-tailed coronet - These medium-sized hummingbirds display a cinnamon underwing in flight, and other than the bronzy central tail feathers, the tail is notably buffy. Buff-tailed Coronets inhabit humid and wet montane forests, shrubby forest borders, and dwarf forests. They are rather defensive around mid and upper level flowers in the forest, and sometimes congregate with other hummingbirds at trees in the canopy interior. They hold on to flowers when feeding and hold their wings up in a V while doing so.

** This Black Tailed Godwit looks pretty handsome with its summer plumage I am not sure of the birds gender. This was taken at RSPB Blacktoft Sands in East Yorkshire
These large wading birds are a reasonably common species. In summer, they have bright orangey-brown chests and bellies, but in winter they're more greyish-brown.
Their most distinctive features are their long beaks and legs, and the black and white stripes on their wings. Female black-tailed godwits are bigger and heavier than the males, with a noticeably longer beak
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT TO MY STREAM. I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD NOT FAVE A PHOTO WITHOUT ALSO LEAVING A COMMENT .

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.

A fairly close encounter with a Black-tailed Godwit in breeding plumage on a patch of grass next to the salt-water lagoon at Rosscarbery, County Cork.
Thank you for viewing, commenting on and faving my photo!

This Black-tailed Godwit was probing the soft ground. You can see how deep it was probing by the mud on it's bill.
Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment or fave my images.
Buteo jamaicensis
Taken right off the parking lot at the boat launch. This one let me walk across the field and right up to it. Just a square crop, but pretty much filled the frame.
The red-tailed hawk is a bird of prey that breeds throughout most of North America, from the interior of Alaska and northern Canada to as far south as Panama and the West Indies. It is one of the most common members within the genus of Buteo in North America or worldwide. Wikipedia

The light caught the spray from the tail fluke of this Humpback Whale, which was putting on a display of tail slapping.

My White-tailed Jackrabbit project of the last month or so finally has started to produce some results. If you hang out near wildlife long enough, sometimes good opportunities happen by chance!
Their unusual style of locomotion and their white winter coats are what I love most about them. Starting here, we will examine their locomotion in a series. Frequently, all feet are in air during a running cycle, as in this case. Interestingly the tail position changes with the strides as will be shown later in future posts. Here the tail is held low.
These hares are very elusive, so all shots in the series and almost all of the shots posted this winter were taken with super telephoto lenses plus 2x extenders.
The long-tailed skipper (Urbanus proteus) is a spread-winged skipper butterfly found throughout tropical and subtropical South America, south to Argentina and north into the southern part of the United States of America. It cannot live in areas with prolonged frost. It is a showy butterfly, with wings of light brown tinted with iridescent blue, and two long tails extending from the hindwings. The robust body is light blue dorsally. It has a large head, prominent eyes, and a wingspan between 4.5 and 6 centimeters.
Saw three of these lovely birds flying together last week and was very happy to capture a few low flying images.

Wikipedia: The stump-tailed macaque (Macaca arctoides), also called the bear macaque, is a species of macaque native to South Asia and Southeast Asia. In India, it occurs south of the Brahmaputra River, in the northeastern part of the country. Its range in India extends from Assam and Meghalaya to eastern Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram and Tripura.
It is primarily frugivorous, but eats many types of vegetation, such as seeds, leaves and roots, but also hunts freshwater crabs, frogs, bird eggs and insects.
It is distributed from northeastern India and southern China into the northwest tip of West Malaysia on the Malay Peninsula. It is also found in Burma, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam. It is possibly extinct in Bangladesh. No global population estimate is available. In Cambodia, a declining population of 230 is reported from Keo Seima Wildlife Sanctuary.
Conservation status: Vulnerable
The white-tailed eagle is the largest UK bird of prey. It has brown body plumage with a conspicuously pale head and neck which can be almost white in older birds, and the tail feathers of adults are white. In flight it has massive long, broad wings with 'fingered' ends. Its head protrudes and it has a short, wedge-shaped tail.
This Schedule 1 species went extinct in the UK during the early 20th century, due to illegal killing, and the present population is descended from reintroduced birds.
What they eat:
White-tailed eagles are versatile and opportunistic hunters and carrion feeders, sometimes pirating food from other birds and even otters. They eat largely fish, but also take various birds, rabbits and hares.
Some pairs kill many fulmars, which are thought to be the source of DDT and PCBs (chemicals) recorded in eagle eggs. Carrion is an important part of their diet, especially during the winter months. Most lambs are taken as carrion.
When fishing, they fly low over water, stop to hover for a moment and drop to snatch fish from the surface.
During the breeding season while they are rearing young, they require 500-600g of food per day. This drops to 200-300g per day during the winter months when the birds are less active.
It was nice of this Hawk to turn the red tail where the sun hit it.
Luck sure does help with photography. :-)

This point of view shows why they are called sharp tailed !!!
