A Common Kestrel (Falco tinnunculus tinnunculus) flies above me as I return home after spending a day at the 2023 RAF Cosford Air Show.
I'd spent all day photographing aircraft and to be honest, in the challenging conditions, I was more pleased with how this image came out!
I had been invited to a restricted area in South Florida and saw more Nighthawks than I had ever seen in my life. It was a really neat experience.
A mixed flock of redpolls and siskins came by this morning to tear the birch seeds apart. Didn't last long or provide many photo ops, and was completely frenetic while it was happening.

I particularly liked the colourful vegetation on the bank behind it in this composition. The setting was a small backwater near the footbridge at Edelweiss Slough (near the town of Golden, British Columbia) — which is part of the extensive Columbia Valley Wetlands.
Nach den vielen Grün- und Brauntönen der letzten Bilder heute zur Abwechslung für das Auge mal wieder etwas Blau im Stream. Die Aufnahme der Erdkröte nach dem ablaichen ist schon etwas älter, dieses Jahr habe ich die Laichwoche völlig verpasst weil sie wg. des wärmeren Wetters viel früher stattgefunden hat. Dass sich diese Zeiten so verschieben ist eine (neue) Schwierigkeit beim fotografieren von Tieren/Vögeln und macht das planen von Aufnahmen schwieriger wenn man von der Lokation entfernt ist.
After the many green and brown tones of the last pictures, today there is a bit of blue in the stream to make a change for the eyes. The photo of the common toad after spawning is older, this year I missed the spawning week completely because it took place much earlier due to the warmer weather. The fact that these times shift so much is a (new) difficulty when photographing animals/birds and makes planning shots more difficult when you are away from the location.
Common Darter (Sympetrum striolatum) male.
These dragonflies are braver than most and not so easily spooked. This one was seen perched on a plant in my pond, and although it's named the Common Darter, I see very few in my garden. I do see them in abundance when I go out and about though.
Shot with my D70, a camera that can be picked up for less than £200 these days. As you can see, it's still a more than capable camera.
Wishing you all a great day!

The Common Merganser
( merges Merganser) is a species of duck native to North America, but also found in certain areas of Europe. Both sexes carry elegant features, although they have very different colouring. The common Merganser is the largest of the duck species and a symbol of Canada's natural beauty.
The common blue (Polyommatus icarus) is a butterfly in the family Lycaenidae, widespread over much of the Palaearctic in temperate Asia and Europe.

I photographed this Common Tody-Flycatcher (Todirostrum cinereum) at the Charca de Guarinocito, near La Dorada, Caldas, Colombia, in February 2020. This small tyrant flycatcher ranges from Mexico to every mainland South American country except Chile and Uruguay. It eats many kinds of arthropods and some fruit, usually foraging in pairs or small family groups. Both sexes build a messy hanging pouch with a side entrance under a visor, often 1 to 5 meters up and sometimes near a wasp nest. IUCN lists it as Least Concern.
I made this frame with a Pentax K-1 and the HD Pentax-D FA 150-450mm f/4.5-5.6, at 1/400 sec, f/5.6, ISO 800, +1 EV. The lagoon is protected as the Charca de Guarinocito Integrated Management District.

Wikipedia: Neptis hylas, the common sailor, is a species of nymphalid butterfly found in the Indian subcontinent and southeast Asia. It has a characteristic stiff gliding flight achieved by short and shallow wingbeats just above the horizontal. It is found throughout continental India; Sri Lanka; Assam; Myanmar (Tenasserim), extending to China and Indomalaya.
Common Buzzard:
This is the most common and widespread bird of prey in the UK. They are relatively large with broad, rounded wings and a short neck and tail. They often hold their wings in a shallow 'V' when gliding and soaring.
