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.

Another common bird at Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge is the White-faced Ibis. Every morning when approaching the refuge, we saw large flocks of them flying around looking for the best places to forage. It's a bit tricky to get a good shot of one though. The brightness and angle of light has to be just right to get the iridescence to show up on their plumage and
to illuminate their namesake white face.
Another of my shots of this species is the cover photo on the Cornell "All About Birds" website. Here's a link:

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.

The Common Kingfisher is a striking small bird with a vibrant blue upper body and wings that contrast with its bright orange underparts. It has a long, dagger-like black bill and short red legs. A white patch on the neck and behind the eyes stands out against the blue plumage.
Males and females are similar, but females can be distinguished by their lower mandible (lower half of the bill), which is orange-red. Juveniles resemble adults but have duller, greener plumage and shorter bills. (Birdfact).
My thanks to anyone who clicks or comments. It is much appreciated.
