Image taken at Attenborough Nature Reserve in Nottinghamshire. Sat in the Delta Hide waiting for a Kingfisher to land on the stick in vain, but there were plenty of Dragonflies flying around so spent my time trying to photograph them and managed to catch this Hawker in flight.
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!

This Common Darter which we came across at Potteric Carr was just one of hundreds of dragonfly that were seen flitting around the reserve. This particular one though posed nicely for me on a fence adjacent to the hide at Piper Marsh.

Lovely to see this Common Green Shieldbug in our garden today making the most of the afternoon sunshine!
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.
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.
