The Anhinga, sometimes called the SnakeBird, Dater, American Darter, or Water Turkey, is a water bird of the warmer parts of the Americas. The word Anhinga comes from Brazilian Tupi language and means Devil Bird or Snake Bird.
I just happen to look up and saw this bird. What I liked about it was the reflection. Each time that it would peck at something, it looked like it was pecking itself.
My mum was savagely attacked by these cute little birds. I couldn’t do anything but take photos of her whilst being ferociously assailed by sweet parakeets.…lol. She had a wonderful time feeding them.

Yup , this was meant to be a bird to get a shot for SSC this week , and what do I get - a squirrel !! There have been a number of birds about so far this week from Blue Tits to Pigeons on the table , the seed feeder and the fat snax feeder and to be honest , a random capture may well do for my SSC shot even if I clipped the end of it's tail off .
However , the squirrel seems to be tucking in well and come the end of the summer it will be all over the curly - whirly tree after the hazelnuts .
Fredvang is located on the island of Moskenesøya in the Lofoten archipelago. The village is fairly isolated with the Fredvang Bridges being the only road connection to the village from the rest of Norway.
I wouldn't normally put up two images but just had to include some birds as they are one of the things that bring me great joy in the neighbourhood.
One of the benefits of living on the edge of suburbia is the bird suprises, especially the raptors as there are still large ares of grassland to hunt. I have only included a few here but they are either the characters of the neighbourhood or the big surprises.
Last week I walked out my front door to find an Australian Hobby on the antenna across the road. A first for me and I was such a birdie nerdie, I couldn't stop the excited chatter. No-one quite understood my delirium.
I have seen Emus on about five occasions, probably escapees from emu farms and my pièce de résistance was the Lathams Snipe.
These feet, they are swept off by a gentle wind from the north
Blown to the borders that they have never touched before
Like a bird taking its first step, once upon a journey
Out of the sweet southern house they go gallivant...
