Often seen in rural pastures and even parks in my local area, a neighbours two story house also has them frequenting their roof, no doubt nesting somewhere! Noisy birds, especially at night! More information can be found here: www.nzbirdsonline.org.nz/species/spur-winged-plover

A wing from the wreckage of the RAF Canberra jet which crashed on t-Sagairt Mor in 1956. Lots of pieces are strewn all over the mountaintop and this trip sees finding more of them before making the final ascent to Carn a'Choire Bhoidheach.
Carn a'Choire Bhoidheach (pronounced Carn a-Corry voddoyich - or something like) stands at 1118 meters (3667 feet) and completes my circuit of the five Munro's of White Mounth. It's taken me 3 years and 4 separate climbs to complete this circuit, starting with my first ever Munro Lochnagar in 2016, but I'm there at last!!

Thank you for visiting, and for your kind comments and favorites. They are greatly appreciated!
It was caught changing direction here - thus the unusual leg positioning.
These are still considered "rare" in this locality, but they have been numerous around my place for years now.

For The Weekly Alphabet Challenge - M for metal.
Taken on our way to Washington DC. I am tagging along on a business trip for my husband.
Même si le plumage rouge du mâle bec-croisé bifscié est impressionnant, personnellement, je pense que le plumage multicolore de ce jeune immature l'est encore plus. On dirait un kaléidoscope des couleurs...
Although the red plumage of the male white-winged crossbill is impressive, personally, I think the multi-colored plumage of this young immature is even more so. It looks like a kaleidoscope of colors...
White-winged Chough
≠=====================â‰
Found a family feeding along a dry creek-line.
Sometimes they can be very tolerant with me and will carry on as if I wasn't there.
But, on this day, the wind, and low light meant they were on high alert and this one is just about to call and they all flew.

Another day spent defending my land,
for a nest in the reeds, is what I have planed.
And not just any female will catch my eye,
but she must have heart, when she takes to the sky.
Many our little ones will prove to be,
if we both work hard, to provide what they need.
Soon the sun will fade from my sight,
and I'll dream of tomorrow, and bid you good night.
Not sure what type of bird made this impression in the snow. From looking around, I noticed a disturbance a few metres away, and so my guess is that this bird was rummaging around there for something, got it, then hopped over here, where it flapped its wings down for a take-off. It's not impossible it was an owl that found a mouse or vole, but it could easily have been a blue jay or crow.
there were probably less than 10 white variety of green winged orchids among the over 5000 others very lucky to see it land on this love of orchids & butterflies in one shot stunning :)
I am glad to see more red-winged blackbirds in the marshes here this year. For awhile it looked like they would be pushed out of their habitat by invasive starlings.
The white-winged chough (Corcorax melanorhamphos) is one of only two surviving members of the Australian mud-nest builders family, Corcoracidae, and is the only member of the genus Corcorax. It is native to southern and eastern Australia and is an example of convergent evolution as it is only distantly related to the European choughs that it closely resembles in shape, and for which it was named.

Die Weißflügelkrähe (Corcorax melanorhamphos) ist eines von nur zwei überlebenden Mitgliedern der australischen Schlammnestbauerfamilie Corcoracidae und ist das einzige Mitglied der Gattung Corcorax.
Es stammt aus Süd- und Ostaustralien und ist ein Beispiel für konvergente Evolution, da es nur entfernt mit den europäischen Dohlen verwandt ist, denen es in seiner Form sehr ähnlich ist und nach denen es benannt wurde.

I am still going through my archives. Hopefully I can get out on the weekend and take some more photos.

A different day and return trip to Slimbridge in Gloucestershire.
A male Northern Shoveler does a bit of a wing stretch.
The aptly named Northern Shoveler has a shovel-shaped bill that quickly sets it apart from other dabbling ducks.

A couple of sweeties, these two. Showing no aggression towards each other, they co-existed quite peacefully. Adults bought in food and simply chose which one to feed. First juvenile plumage
Some of us are old enough to remember when nearly every car had a wing window that could be opened for ventilation. They have disappeared thanks to air conditioning and the need for more streamlined cars. This one is on a 40's era Ford and the safety glass has deteriorated, resulting in embedded shapes and colors.

The yellow-winged blackbird (Agelasticus thilius) is a species of bird in the family Icteridae. It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, Peru, and Uruguay.
Its natural habitats are swamps, intertidal marshes, and pastureland.
I've been wanting to get a photo of the other 2 minifigures that came with Poe's X-Wing fighter. I spotted them rushing off to somewhere, so I took this quick photo :-)
