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 Common Woodpigeon (Columba palumbus), also known as ring dove is very common. With a wingspan of more than 70 cm and a weight of about 500 g the ring dove is our largest pidgeon species in Europe - and I think it's beautiful.
Die Ringeltaube (Columba palumbus) ist mit einer Flügelspannweite von über 70 cm die größte Taube Mitteleuropas und gehört zu unseren häufigsten Wildvögeln - und ich finde sie wunderschön.

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).
This Common Flameback is a male, with a red crown that the females do not have (as is apparent in the other three images I have posted of this species). What a striking bird! We were happy to get great looks thanks to the fact that we were in a hide (blind). The location was near Kaeng Krachan National Park in Phetchaburi province, Thailand, Southeast Asia.
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.

I found and photographed these flowers while walking through some countryside near Santa Fe, New Mexico. They are Gaillardia, or Common Blanket Flowers.
One can buy the seeds of these flowers for one's garden, but it is a wildflower, and native to a number of states, icluding New Mexico.

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.
