El estornino común o estornino europeo (Sturnus vulgaris), también conocido simplemente como estornino en Gran Bretaña e Irlanda, es un ave paseriforme de tamaño mediano de la familia de los estorninos Sturnidae. Mide unos 20 cm de largo y tiene un plumaje negro brillante con un brillo metálico, moteado de blanco en algunas épocas del año. Las patas son rosadas y el pico es negro en invierno y amarillo en verano; Los juveniles tienen un plumaje más marrón que los adultos. Es un pájaro ruidoso, especialmente en dormideros comunales y otras situaciones sociales, con un canto poco musical pero variado. Su capacidad para imitar se ha observado en la literatura, incluido el Mabinogion y las obras de Plinio el Viejo y William Shakespeare.

Here I am lucky to combine my two favorite subjects.

Thanks to you all for the faves, awards and comments.

A stern looking Javan myna is protecting a feather it found. In Fort Canning, Singapore. It got too hot for sightseeing. So I stopped to look for birds in the shade.

The Great Egret was chosen as the mascot for the Audubon Society because back in the 1800s this elegant bird was hunted to near extinction so the egrets feathers could be worn in ladies hats. It is a reminder that our beautiful birds need to be protected and preserved. And seriously don't their feathers look so much better on them.

Thank-you to all who take the time to comment on my photos, it is greatly appreciated.

Stay well my Flickr friends <3

Northern Gannets are monogamous and mate for life, very much like albatrosses. Pairs form, and renew their bonds, at the breeding colony, called a gannetry, which may contain thousands of pairs in close proximity to each other. Young birds also return to the colony in their second or third year, forming “clubs” of birds that rest together and begin to learn the local fishing routes. Males begin to claim a breeding site in a colony in their third or fourth year, shaking their head side to side frequently, biting the nest site itself, and stretching the neck toward females that show interest. Clashes between males over nest sites can be intense, with bills locked and much pushing at the cliff edge; injuries are not uncommon. Once partnered, male and female greet each other at the nest site each time they reunite, the males shaking the head, the females offering the nape for the male to nibble. They also engage in so-called “mutual fencing,” wherein they face each other, often touching, calling, shaking heads side to side as their bills clack together, bowing, and finally preening each other’s neck. Both parents care for and feed the young, taking turns on fishing excursions that may last several days. Both sexes defend the nest and chicks aggressively against other gannets, using threat displays such as jabbing with the bill.

So, Danny planted some nasturtium seeds in the hanging basket outside our kitchen window. I thought it would be a great idea to put mealworms on top for the birds, so we could possibly get some captures of them through the window. It worked. Didn’t occur to me at the time that the birds would probably destroy the seeds. Whoops. Think I need to buy some more seeds 😂😂
