This striking little songbird was easy to spot—bright yellow with that black and white masked head. But it was his delightful song that lead me to him!

I eventually found some common blues this spring last week. Quite a few were looking quite old so they must have been around a little while they just managed to avoid me!
The bird I hope to see the most when I visit Lightning Lake are the Common Loon. I saw 4, no babies but they did call out several times.

Common Redshank is a species known for at-times strident vocalizations, but I like to interpret this image as suggesting the bird was telling us “gangi þér vel” (good bye) at the end of our wonderful visit to Iceland. This final image for my Iceland album was taken at a pond near Garður. That town is on the Reykjanes Peninsula in the region of Suðurnes (not far from the Keflavík International Airport near the capital Reykjavík).

Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment and favoring my images. Enjoy the day.
Many thanks for your visits, faves and comments. Cheers.
Common Crow Butterfly
Scientific Name: Euploea core
Identification: The Common Crow Butterfly is a large black butterfly with white spots on the fore wings and a band of elongated spots on the hind wings. The outer wing margins have small white spots. The males have a pair of hidden orange-yellow brushes at the tip of the abdomen, which they can extend into bright coloured patch as part of the mating ritual or to deter predators. These brushes emit a musky odour. The caterpillars are striped. Pupa have metallic silvery sheen.
Other Names: Oleander Butterfly
Size: wingspan 70mm, Caterpillar about 50mm
Habitat: The Common Crow is found in open forest and woodland. Often seen in parks and gardens
Food: Common Crow Butterfly caterpillars feed on a wide range of native plants. They are often found in gardens feeding on Ficus (figs), Hoya, Mandevilla, Nerium oleander, Trachelospermum (star jasmines). The larvae eat the leaf and soft stem parts.
Range: Throughout tropical Australia and eastern Queensland. Adults sometimes disperse further down eastern Australia as far as Victoria, but there are no permanent breeding populations further south than northern New South Wales.

Apparently a very common bird in Europe - the Great Tit (Parus Major). He practically posed for me near Van Gogh's house. I can't believe the name of the bird. It's kind of embarassing to me.

The Common Stilt (or Black-winged Stilt) is another resident of the big aviary at our zoo. I think they have a very cute face and these red eyes are quite striking.
