Enjoying being out and about to see some of my favourite animls ever! Comical little Puffins never cease to amuse me.
Captured on the Aberdeenshire coastline whilst out a walk.
Taken on my Nikon D5500 DSLR camera with Sigma 150-600C Contemporary lens including 1.4x Converter.
Captured at 850mm Handheld.
Some shots of puffins taken on a beautiful day in June - hard to believe now! They are such cute birds and I have given them some daft titles!
I just found this a fascinating bird to watch. I don't know the specific species but I hope one of my flickr friends will enlighten me....
Those sideburns were spectacular!
A young elephant as its stomps ti make its presence known to us. Was quite a comical sight as it backed off after a while and was just purely showing off really...
quite comical to see a "mighty" red-winged blackbird chasing such a large bird like a great blue heron away
The Brown Pelican is a comically elegant bird with an oversized bill, sinuous neck, and big, dark body. Squadrons glide above the surf along southern and western coasts, rising and falling in a graceful echo of the waves. They feed by plunge-diving from high up, using the force of impact to stun small fish before scooping them up. They are fairly common today—an excellent example of a species’ recovery from pesticide pollution that once placed them at the brink of extinction.

My very first attempt at Black Dragon - ummm where are the camera controls and the camera button? Seriously I was comical.
This little red squirrel kept disappearing from view, virtually tunnelling through the leaves, and then would surface, knee deep, every so often. It was quite comical :-)
I wanted to say a few words about this capture.
First of all, modeling with me is my very good friend Enanito Verde. Unfortunately Enanito wasn't able to continue on this platform after Flickr enforced their drastic policies this past spring and we lost his wonderful work here. However, you can still see his creations at Enanito Verde on Slushe and Enanito Verde on Twitter. Thank you so much Enanito. You're awesome babes!♥
Secondly, I have to confess that this one's not totally my brainchild. I actually ran across the artwork that inspired this one over a year ago. And when I wanted to do something comical for the Holst & Holst Gallery I thought of it, but I could not find it anywhere. I knew I'd saved it but I could not find it. I was able to remember enough about it to create my own version of it with a little twist that I thought was cute and funny.
So as I was about to post it this morning, I decided to try to find the original image one more time, and I found it! That said, I'm posting a link to a gyazo I made of the original. I do not know the artist's work really. I'm sure someone here may. I like the image though. Cheers!♥
We all know that moment when we're caught doing something and someone catches us! That look you get after the fact, that's what I got from the American Goldfinch after he was caught looking downwards in the previous photo. Birds sure can be comical at times.
I honestly hadn't seen this side of the tree until I'd placed the stones and stepped round to take this photo, not realizing how comically suggestive it looks ....
or is it just me?

Raerae looves catnip, but after I put a small broken branch of catnip on my, I mean Raeraes cushion, she slept for 20hrs solid. I'm wondering if she needs an intervention :-D

Holly is a goofball when she sleeps! She really conks out and we can't help but laugh at her comical looks! She is our second oldest kitty; she was 16 in June!
Smile On Saturday - Comical Scene
I had this image waiting for it's day. I think today is the day.
Happy Saturday
Black Phoebe at work, Bolsa Chica Eco Reserve. Rather comical I might add how Flickr's map function put this image in a trailer park.
Pacific Baza and its 1001 faces. I find these birds quite comical in their many expressions from "whoops" to "regal" to "Ugh, again greens for dinner" ... It was huge fun to watch and I hope to see more of that species soon.
This was the first time for me seeing the Pacific Baza and of that day, that definitely was my favourite character to watch!
There's something comical about whistlers. They circle and circle, not seeming to be heading anywhere. Of course they have a plan, we just don't know what it is. Maybe if I could whistle?
(By the way, this is not a composite.)
Another pic of this Adult Male Kingfisher standing to Attention this time, and looking all dapper with his wings folded behind his back, thought it rather comical :)

I took this photo of a food searching starling not knowing what a comical talent stood there in front of me. From today I am a starling fan!

I never tire of these somewhat comical birds. Their calls are so distinct and they zoom in to the feeders a half dozen at a time often.
This female gave me a nice feather display as she left the platform feeder, off to sit in the nearby oak tree and enjoy her snack before returning for another.
Just had to share - I was sitting by the lake taking a break from hours of walking and just watched this scene unfold. Mr Mastiff had obviously just been for a long walk in the hot sun and had to cool down. Off comes the lead as he wades into the lake and just stands there. After about 10 minutes owners call him back. Mr Mastiff is not budging.
Then the shouting starts to get him back, the treats come out to lure him back but alas he aint going anywhere! Was so comical as you could just see what he must have been thinking as he watched all these mad humans try to get him out f the water while he was just chilling!
The end result was someone having to walk halfway into the lake to get him. :)
scare him. Wiggly, waggly, reverse in a kayak is comical, ..I knew I had little time before he was lost behind the pond lilies or dove. Just caught him before he dove and I never did find him again that evening.
Wanted to use a wide angle lens for a comical perspective of the snout. Put a cheese slice on top of the lens and started moving closer and closer...
Press L - it can just about take it.
Out for a stroll at Hatch Hill this morning - found a finely perched Grizzled Skipper and a female Common Blue. Not much else however there are some fine looking Greater Butterfly Orchids in various stages of development - one almost half in flower.
Back home I had a wander around the rough edge of the garden and there were loads of damsels. I've always struggled to get a decent shot of one of these and have always liked the idea of getting something a little comical with the eyes. I like this - if I'd got the eye a bit sharper it would have been just what I was after. Weather looks good for the camera tomorrow however I've got so much to do for some upcoming teaching I may just enjoy an hour or two with these wee beasties in some nice morning light..........either that or I'll be after more bitterns.
Fantastic early morning shoot getting a close up chance to photograph puffins. Despite near frostbite conditions we just couldn't stop enjoying these near-comical and beautiful birds.
a bit in the way cormorants are, but cheerful and very gregarious, in the way oyster catchers are. I must say though I sure love their colourful feet and the orange mouths....amazing birds.
Even elephants are not bashful about finding shady comfort under a tree in the hot sun. It looks a little comical to see this herd of elephants under this sparsely leaved tree, but it works. The elephants move around and position themselves to get the tree to block the sun.
Notice how the adults are being protective of the baby elephant.
Maasai Mara, Kenya
A herd of ponies have been put out to graze the water meadows on my local nature reserve. As you can see they look rather shaggy in their winter coats. I'm not sure what this one was doing standing there with his mouth open on a frosty winter's morning but it made for a comical looking shot I thought.
I don't usually post two versions of the same photo but I thought this version was comical.
4 Aug 2021, Florence County, SC, USA.
I had the pleasure about a month ago of spending the morning with this Reddish Egret which we don't normally get to see so close to home. I love watching their comical antics as they hunt for their prey, such a different approach then their relatives. This seemingly indecisive dance paid off with a successful catch more often than not.
Snowy Egret creates quite a splash while attempting to catch some prey. The stop-action of the water occurred right in front of his eyes, giving this bird a rather comical appearance.
Puffin
Fratercula arctica (Atlantic puffin)
Often called the ‘clown of the sea’ the puffin is an unmistakable seabird with a black back and white underparts, distinctive black head with large pale cheeks and brightly-coloured bill. Their comical appearance is heightened by red and black eye markings and bright orange legs.
Breeding
They prefer islands where they mostly nest in burrows which they usually excavate themselves but they may also nest under rocks and scree or in cracks on cliffs: these are called puffinries. They lay one egg and their young are called pufflings. After hatching the young puffin remains underground concealed in the nest, until the night comes for it to head for the open sea, not to return until it is ready to breed, usually some 5 years later.
Winter
Spent at sea, some fly as far as the Bay of Biscay.
Eat
Fish, especially sandeels.
Sound
A growling laugh.
Spot them
Adults arrive back at the breeding colonies in March and April and leave again in early-August. You’ll see them on the Isle of May, Fidra, Craigleith and occasionally in the stone walls of the historic ramparts on the Bass Rock. A group of puffins is called a circus.

The position in which this little wild bee works looks a bit comical, but it's obviously convenient to reach the plant's nectar. At the risk of being wrong, I think this is a species of Mason bee - any suggestion is a highly appreciate - nectaring on yellow cornflower, Centaurea orientalis. Summer by the sea :-)
I love observing behavior in nature. Be it loving, comical, savage or thoughtful, those are my favorite images. Here's one taken of one snail kite attacking from the bottom to steal another's snail. It wasn't successful but a valiant effort. There is something to be said for taking the high ground, or in this case, sky.
