Although mainly nocturnal, the little owl can be spotted in the day hunting invertebrates (especially worms), small mammals, reptiles, amphibians and small birds. It is often seen perched a telegraph pole, an old parkland tree, along a hedgerow, or on a rock; from these positions, it quietly scans the ground for prey. When it spots something, it swoops down and catches its victim with either its claws or beak. Little owls breed between March and August, forming monogamous pairs and nesting in hollow trees.

Los animales son impredecibles, y en ocasiones nos sorprenden con poses de lo más graciosas, como ocurrió con esta garcilla cangrejera.
Els animals són impredictibles, i a vegades ens sorprenen amb poses d'allò més gracioses, com va ocórrer amb aquest martinet ros.
Animals are unpredictable, and sometimes they surprise us with funny poses, as happened with this Squacco Heron.

The black-winged stilt is a black and white wading bird with incredibly long legs. They live in a variety of wetlands, from marshes to coastal lagoons. They wade through the water, plucking insects from the surface. Their incredibly long legs (around 60% of their height) allow them to walk through deeper water than other wading birds.
It has black on the back of the neck, a white collar and a red iris. Both sexes are similar, and the plumage does not change during the year. Black-winged Stilts give a repeated high-pitched barking call. Young Black-winged Stilts lack black on the back of the neck and have grey-brown wings and back, speckled with white. They have a smudged grey crown, which extends down the back of the neck as the birds get older.
From our Utqiagvik tour this past summer

Up close with this beautiful swan, every detail tells a story- the texture of its feathers, the striking orange bill, and that calm yet powerful gaze. Nature's grace at its finest.

Time for a bit of colour. Looks like we have a resident population that's going to say over winter this year. First time for a few years they have stayed to this point. Also the first time we have had a decent wet season in many years so this might be a factor. Off the back of a good wet there are always plenty of insects around.
Rainbow bee-eater. ( Merops ornatus )
Rainbow Bee-eaters eat insects, mainly catching bees and wasps, as well as dragonflies, beetles, butterflies and moths. They catch flying insects on the wing.
Rainbow Bee-eaters gather in small flocks before returning to summer breeding areas. Both males and females select a suitable nesting site in a sandy bank and dig a long tunnel leading to a nesting chamber, which is often lined with grasses. Both parents incubate the eggs and both feed the young, sometimes with the assistance of others.
A Great Blue Heron pauses at the water’s edge, beak parted as if sharing a secret with the fading day. These moments remind me of the quiet balance between motion and stillness that nature holds so well, powerful yet calm, patient yet alert.
Common Name: Great Blue Heron
Scientific Name: Ardea herodias
Location: Cleveland Metroparks, Ohio
Date: September 2, 2025

From our Arizona Monsoon trip. These guys are loud and fairly easy to find, but difficult to get on a clean perch down low with a good background. This one took a lot of work.
