Now the commonest and most widespread UK bird of prey. It is quite large with broad, rounded wings, and a short neck and tail. When gliding and soaring it will often hold its wings in a shallow 'V' and the tail is fanned. Birds are variable in colour from all dark brown to much paler variations, all have dark wingtips and a finely barred tail. Their plaintive mewing call could be mistaken for a cat,,,,Thanks a lot for your visits, comments, faves, invites, etc. Very much appreciated!

These birds fascinated me in part because of the series Six Feet Under, one of the very few series that has ever grabbed and sustained my attention.
From end of 2013 to autumn 2015 I kept a kind of a visual, irregular diary on Ipernity. There were only three or four people who knew about it. As Ipernity will close down by end of January 2017, I’m migrating eight sets of photos from that time, hopefully one per day during the next eight days. The common denominator in this sixth set is trees, one of my favorite subjects (and featuring some of my favorite trees – more in the album Solitary Trees).
Branches full of raucous birds as seen in "Funny Bunny," Illustrated by Alice and Martin Provensen. Golden Press, 1950.
This old man (I'm guessing 90+ yo) comes almost every day here to feed the friends of his, as that´s what he called them. Very sympathetic and calm man.. He gave me a promission to take a picture, even though the birds didn´t fancy me that much! :)

Watercolour and ink on Arches paper from my series « Birds »,18x24cm, 2020. This is one of the birds based on paterns that I draw years before, by doodling. I choose the most evocative patterns, and called them « birds ».I send each of this 68 birds as postcards to my friends the last years. I have now only a numeric copy of all these paintings. I completed then these birds with many others. Actually I have 220 birds in my collection. Some realised by pure imagination and others based on pictures that I found in various cultures and historic periods.

Some fishermen were cleaning their fish waterside at the
Texas City Dike on Galveston Bay... throwing the unwanted
parts to the birds... among those eagerly awaiting were
Brown Pelicans and Gulls... here one of the Brown Pelicans
to keep what he had grabbed swallowed it whole... ouch...
makes my throat hurt... amazing how they can swallow a fish
like this... a happy pelican winner among the unhappy losers!!!
I sat watching for 30 minutes or longer & loved the show!!!
A first run with lots of action!!! There are eight species of pelicans that can be found living on many of the world's coastlines, rivers, and lakes. The white pelican (Pelecanus erythrorhynchos) and the brown pelican (Pelecanus occidentalis) live in the United States.
The white pelican is the more common of the two birds. They live
on coastal and inland areas and the brown pelican lives primarily
on coastal areas. The brown pelican is Louisiana's official bird. Pelicans are famous for their large bill, the lower portion of which has a pouch that can be greatly extended as evident above.
Pelicans are extremely social birds. They enjoy being around other pelicans and they have a very good tolerance being around other birds. Gulls will often sit on a pelican's head to steal its fish when
it opens its bill to pour out the water.
I am not enough of a birder to tell what kind of bird this is. It was in a tree not far from the bald eagle whose image i captured earlier. I am guessing possibly an immature bald eagle. Do wish I had a longer lens.

Well I didn't tell anyone, but a bird flew by
Saw what I'd done he set up a nest outside,
And he sang about what I'd become
Nature as vivid ways of asking life to be reborn. Colors, shapes and smells that call just the right insect, bird or even other plants to come and mingle to bring joy and beauty just because. An amazing planet we share with all living things.
Bird Island or Pulau Burung (in Indo speak) is a small island off the coast of Belitung Island. It’s known for the rock formation in the front facing section of the island, which is shaped like a bird rising from the waters. I get it, but it’s not what attracted me to the island. On the west coast of Bird Island I found a cove that was sheltered from the weather whipped up by the sea. Like finding a cristal clear lake in a dry desert, when I stumbled on this location I was stopped in my tracks and simply immersed myself within this beautiful nature to capture the essence of it’s beauty.
