With the songbird migration slowly starting I thought I would post an image that I have been working on. It is an older image but sad to say the numbers are no longer what they used to be.

After the processing, this song popped up in my head:
'Paint It Black' by The Rolling Stones.
The first to lines are:
""I see a red door and I want it painted black.
No colours anymore, I want them to turn black.""
Sweet memories of Schiermonnikoog ;-))
Happy weekend!
Today's fun fact - Black Swans were presumed not to exist because there was only ever records of white ones. Then when Europeans discovered they did in fact exist, in WA Australia, the phrase "black swan" was coined. The Black Swan by scholar Nassim Taleb, was ranked by the Sunday Times one of the 12 most influential books since World War II. Taleb's black swan theory states that dramatic unexpected events matter more to history than regular happenings.
Bit simpler for me, I just like to photograph them on the local lake. Especially at sunset. Like little floating silhouettes. (bit of an older pic, revisiting some unloved pics from my Flickr exile years)
Lachmöwe im Prachtkleid, d.h. ab März zeigt sie sich mit einem schwarzen Kopf und schmalen weißen Augenrändern.
Im Flug kann man die Lachmöwe auch an dem weißen Vorderflügelkeil identifizieren. Dieser kommt sonst nur bei der Dünnschnabelmöwe und der Bonapartmöwe vor, die bei uns absolute Ausnahmeerscheinungen sind. Und den dunklen Kopf hat sonst nur die viel seltenere Schwarzkopfmöwe.

A black man has a lot to be scared of,....still. I'm very white myself. This Chameleon is saying a prayer as he walks through the wrong neighbourhood and being observed very intensly. It's the end of the branch.
This handsome male Black Redstart was photographed as he was busily collecting food for his youngsters. Both parents were working hard, flitting back & forth with a variety of insects, including beakfuls of these flying Ants.

A few weeks ago I discovered this ditch with ca. 15 Black Tern nests. It is a rare species in the Netherlands and the nests are constructed by the foundation that is owning this piece of land. Many nests have a little fence for keeping the young safe from falling into the water, or being predated by nasty creatures.
I went back three times, because it is such a treat to see how they are fed. The picture more a less tells it all, the speeding parent with a giant dragonfly, the young squeeking and opening their beaks, the parent dropping the food on the fly, and then off for another meal. This goes on 16 hours a day!
It is amazing how fast they grow. These chicks four days later started practicing flying, and another 4 days later they were gone.
In the mean time in other nests you could see them almost grow every minute. For sure I will return next year to see this spectacle again!
I think I took about 1000 pictures, many off them worth while showing. Enjoy.
