One of the smallest members in the crow family in Europe. Can be very approachable in towns and built up areas but are wary in the countryside. Adults have very distinctive grey eyes and a close look will reveal a purple gloss on the wings and back, not forgetting the grey cast on the underparts. The Jackdaw is known for its 'kjack' contact calls.
ALTHOUGH it is rather nondescript the corn bunting does have a distinctive song. It dangles it legs when flying short distances, and just look at its nails, they are very approachable with extreme care, I love seeing them at the Ancient Highway Sandwich Kent.

GAMBIA TOUR feb. 2020
====================
MY ADOPTED bird of the Gambia, not the prettiest, not rare, but a real character none the less, do not feel I have been to the country until I see one. Perches at medium height, calls like the sound of the glugging of a water bottle being emptied , it flicks its tail sideways often, and is quite approachable. Also spends a considerable amount of its time on the round creeping amongst low tangled undergrowth. A real joy to see this.
===========================================
THANK YOU FOR YOUR FRIENDSHIP, in these very testing times, please stay well and safe, God bless....................Tomx
A large flock of Bohemian Waxwings took turns flying down to the mountain ash trees to feast on the berries. They were quite approachable and treated me to some extended viewing with good photo opportunities.
I am happy to catch this acrobatic individual feeding in good light, and in an aesthetically pleasing setting with clutter-free background.

Thank you very much for the visit and comment.
EMERALD green overall, with a long deeply-forked tail. Gregarious when not breeding , typically lives in communal roosting and loose foraging parties of up to fifteen birds.Hunts high from lofty shrubbery and bare branches of tall trees, found them fairly approachable with slow care.

Purple Sandpiper - Calidris Maritima
In Britain, these birds occur in winter in good numbers principally along the east and south coasts, where they favour rocky shorelines adjacent to the sea.
It is much rarer as a breeding bird, found only in a localised area of the Cairngorms National Park, where 1–3 pairs have bred since the 1970s. Records of breeding by this species in the UK are monitored and archived by the Rare Breeding Birds Panel.
They are late migrants and move to rocky ice-free Atlantic coasts in winter. most go no further south than North Carolina and northern Portugal. They are fairly gregarious, forming small flocks, often with ruddy turnstones. This species is tame and approachable.
Their breeding habitat is the northern tundra on Arctic islands in Canada and coastal areas in Greenland and northwestern Europe. They nest on the ground either elevated on rocks or in lower damp location. The males makes several scrapes; the female chooses one and lays 3 or 4 eggs. The male takes the major responsibility for incubation and tends the chicks. The young feed themselves.
An apparent case of hybridization between this species and the dunlin has been reported from England.
A couple of pairs nest in Scotland, but this species is mainly a winter visitor to almost any rocky coast in the UK. Most are found in Orkney, Shetland and along the east coast of Scotland and northern England - it is scarce south of Yorkshire, other than Devon and Cornwall. The breeding areas in Scotland are kept secret to protect the birds from egg thieves and disturbance.
It is listed on Schedule 1 of The Wildlife and Countryside Act.
Rock Pipit - Anthus petrosus
Double click to view
The Eurasian rock pipit is closely related to the water pipit and the meadow pipit, and is rather similar in appearance. Compared to the meadow pipit, the Eurasian rock pipit is darker, larger and longer-winged than its relative, and has dark, rather than pinkish-red, legs. The water pipit in winter plumage is also confusable with the Eurasian rock pipit, but has a strong supercilium and greyer upperparts; it is also typically much warier. The Eurasian rock pipit's dusky, rather than white, outer tail feathers are also a distinction from all its relatives. The habitats used by Eurasian rock and water pipits are completely separate in the breeding season, and there is little overlap even when birds are not nesting.
The Eurasian rock pipit is almost entirely coastal, frequenting rocky areas typically below 100 metres (330 ft), although on St Kilda it breeds at up to 400 metres (1,300 ft).[15] The Eurasian rock pipit is not troubled by wind or rain, although it avoids very exposed situations. It may occur further inland in winter or on migration.[3]
The breeding range is temperate and Arctic Europe on western and Baltic Sea coasts, with a very small number sometimes nesting in Iceland. The nominate race is largely resident, with only limited movement. A. p. kleinschmidti, which nests on the Faroe Islands and the Scottish islands, may move to sandy beaches or inland to rivers and lakes in winter. A. p. littoralis is largely migratory, wintering on coasts from southern Scandinavia to southwest Europe, with a few reaching Morocco. Wanderers have reached Spitsbergen and the Canary Islands, but records in Europe away from the coast are rare.
The Eurasian rock pipit is a much more approachable bird than the water pipit. If startled, it flies a fairly short distance, close to the ground, before it alights, whereas its relative is warier and flies some distance before landing again. Eurasian rock pipits are usually solitary, only occasionally forming small flocks.
Estimates of the breeding population of the Eurasian rock pipit vary, but may be as high as 408,000 pairs, of which around 300,000 pairs are in Norway. Despite slight declines in the British population and some range expansion in Finland, the population is considered overall to be large and stable, and for this reason it is evaluated as a species of least concern by the IUCN.

THEY may be widespread and rather nondescript, streaked brown bird, but I have a real affection for them, as a ground-dwelling species, it is quite approachable with care. Feeds on invertebrates as seen, a bit harder in the capture in the winter when they often form loose flocks.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR FRIENDSHIP, please leave a comment, they are always very appreciated and find encouraging, and will look forward to seeing your latest images......In the UK we are in lockdown again from Thurs, not sure if this means not visiting nature reserves?

Larger than the Bewicks Swan and being more shy and less approachable than the Mute Swan. Winters on flood meadows, stubble fields and lochs. Breeds on northern lakes and marshes.
Black-capped Chickadees are usually pretty approachable, but not this guy. He stayed his distance. He was, however, one of the few birds seen at Lake St. Clair Metropark, Michigan in early March, when the marsh was still frozen.

Finally got a bit of fall birding in - - we were with friends in Bellville, Prince Edward County, and then Ottawa.
Best bird day was the last morning in Ottawa at Britannia Park - - I had never been there but really enjoyed the walk and abundance of approachable Wood Ducks.

Our dear Ares is the only cat who did not come to us, he originally came from an animal shelter. Thank goodness he didn't have to stay there for long! After we once had a cheeky and impetuous tomcat, Ares is the absolute opposite! He is a reliable and well-behaved family member, has no quirks whatsoever and is always open-minded, friendly and approachable. He has great respect for Neolinchen, often the two of them lie together on the terrace to do 'Tuxedo Junction'. Ares likes to cuddle, is always calm and peaceful, he doesn't know any nonsense, but he was born to be a model! All in all, one just have to love him!

An icy Spring day at Svinafellsjokull glacier in Southeast Iceland. The melting glacier has created its own lagoon which is not far away from Jokulsarlon glacier lagoon. The difference is that Svinafellsjokull glacier is better approachable to get to the real glacier tongue, not just the lagoon.
A FRIEND OF MINE! This is the fourth year of seeing this same bird, sits in the same spot, when back from its winter flock, moves to the same spots, very approachable, feel I know him personally, and do wonder who will drop first, him or me.! Speaking to a senior life time birder, he said, that when they went out doing daily counts years ago, they never bothered about the corn bunting as there was hundreds of them, on every field, now this is only only one I see every year, the decline is dramatic, and again due to changes in farming practice. But so love this bird! its song is amazing.

GODs BEAUTY is SIMPLY AMAZING !
A common garden bird throughout much of Asia, found in open forests, fields, and parks; introduced to several regions around the world. Often tame and approachable. Brown overall with a rosy breast and a unique white-spotted black nape patch. Plumage shows slight regional variation: western birds have dark centers to wing feathers, lacking in eastern birds. Turtle-doves are larger, have black centers to wing feathers and stripes rather than spots on the neck. Coos loudly and often: “coo-a-roooo”. (eBird)
-----------------
I was all excited to recognize an "Australian" bird, just to have it disdainfully dismissed as "introduced". A pretty dove, but Australia has plenty of pretty doves of its own, and doesn't really need anyone else's.

If pink is your favorite color, you are loving, kind, generous and sensitive to the needs of others. You are friendly and approachable with a warmth and softness others are drawn to. You are the nurturers of the world - you love to give nurturing and to receive nurturing in return.
A trip to South Devon today to try and find one of these beautiful winter migrants from the Arctic & Sub Arctic,which had set up temporary home on a local beach.
I saw three in all and this individual was very approachable as it flitted amongst the rocks on the shore.
A first for me as I had never seen one before and I was over the moon to get so close and to come away with a series of shots as well.
Thank you to Chris Lake ( Flickr ) for pointing the way.

Limpkin out for an early morning stroll along the boardwalk railing in Sweetwater Wetlands Park, Gainesville, Florida. Limpkins and Cormorants in Sweetwater, though wild, are surprisingly approachable, often oblivious to the visitors and photographers.
This Limpkin was carrying some kind of shell as it flew by me in the light rain. Limpkins love apple snails, but this shell looks like some type of freshwater mussel. Limpkins have a very distinctive call which at times reminds me of a crying baby. If they live in an area regularly frequented by humans, they grow tolerant and somewhat approachable. However, in most areas they are very shy and difficult to get close to. Rain, I think, helps. Also, when they are hunting, they seem to be more tolerant of my presence. I was alone on this rainy day, which also helps get closer to wildlife. Limpkins also have a very particular wing beat, making them easy to identify when on the wing. I would describe it as two beats and a rest. Central Florida (Aramus guarauna)
IN SEARCH OF ANY TASTY FISH REMAINS, amongst the fish nets left on the quay side, this robust little wader is a real beauty, and fairly approachable.
Not much going on in the local birding world, so a visit to Whitstable fishing harbour, gave me a few interesting images to show!

I approached very slowly on this GBH with my kayak and it didn't know I has there. In my area, GBH's are not approachable so I was happy to photographing it fishing. Unfortunately I has in tall vegetation and had to shot through it. For me it was impressive to what it catch a trout of this size.
Papilio castor, also called the Common Raven and Common mormon, is a tail-less black brown swallowtail butterfly with creamy white to yellow spots.
The butterfly was so active so couldn't get a good focus in hand held mode.
There are many types of butterflies and they have a range of different colors, but the brown butterfly, in particular, is connected to a meaning that speaks to many different types of people.
People have come to connect brown butterflies with being grounded or “down-to-earth,” but there are other meanings as well:
Stability
Security
Warmth
Authentic
Approachable
Unpretentious
Earthly in Nature
Many cultures also connect seeing a brown butterfly with being a greater sign for what’s to come in the future. Brown butterflies have been mentioned across the world from the Philippines to China and Eastern Europe to the Native American culture of the Americas. They are also a popular choice for tattoos as people want an image on their body to represent something meaningful to them on a personal level.
The Snow Bunting is a rare winter visitor to Gloucestershire, so this adult male attracted a lot of attention at the foot of the Cotswold Hills near Cheltenham this afternoon - even in the rain. The bird was feeding on seeds in the leaf litter along a quiet lane and was very approachable.
