Common Eider has a Conservation Status under the IUCN of Near Threatened www.iucnredlist.org/species/22680405/132525971
This image shows how the plumage of an adult female Common Eider can serve as very effective camouflage in its coastal environment. The location was the harbour of Árskógssandur in the region of Norðurland eystra, Iceland.
Common Starling / sturnus vulgaris. Nottinghamshire. 19/02/19.
'A WINTER SONG.'
A male Starling, one of a small flock, took time out to bubble and wheeze his winter song from the top of a hedge. None of the others seemed impressed!

Sylvia communis
There are far more Blackcaps around than (Common) Whitethroats, seemingly.... it was good to see a couple visit the drinking pools.
This was my first foreign trip for over two years; back to the fabulous photo hides in Hungary.

The common kingfisher, also known as the Eurasian kingfisher and river kingfisher, is a small kingfisher with seven subspecies recognized within its wide distribution across Eurasia and North Africa. It is resident in much of its range, but migrates from areas where rivers freeze in winter.

I watched this beautiful Common Loon sitting on the nest.
This was an experience that I will never forget. If I had paid more attention to the flies that were bugging it then I may have had more success with my fly-fishing.
I took this last Tuesday while fly-fishing up near Merritt, British Columbia, Canada.

Despite international legislation protecting the common tern, in some areas, populations are threatened by habitat loss, pollution, or the disturbance of breeding colonies.
I photographed this Common Squirrel-Cuckoo (Piaya cayana) at La Esmeralda Hostal, in the vereda Pastales near Ibagué, Tolima, Colombia, in October 2019. This large, very long-tailed cuckoo lives in wooded country from northwestern Mexico to northern Argentina and Uruguay. It is mostly chestnut above, with a gray lower breast, a blackish belly and black outer tail feathers tipped white. It eats large insects such as cicadas, wasps and caterpillars, even ones with stinging hairs. It often follows army ant columns to pick off the prey they flush. IUCN lists it as Least Concern, though its numbers are believed to be falling.
I made this frame with a Pentax K-1 and the HD Pentax-D FA 150-450mm f/4.5-5.6, at 1/640 sec, f/7.1, ISO 800. It is plentiful in most of its range and seems quite tolerant of people, as long as woodland remains.
