While camping over the weekend the black flies, but particularly the mosquitos, were swarming and thirsty. Humans weren't the only animals on the menu.
This Common loon and I were suffering together as I tried to photograph it. Every so often it would dip its head under water and give it a shake to try and shake to insects away.

Finally caught up to the Common Yellowthroat on one of my outdoor ventures. I found the female easier to photograph as she wasn't moving around so much. The male, on the other hand, just couldn't sit still.
Spent the morning searching storm drains with my youngest. It was fantastic to see his excited face when we fished them out.
They look a little different this side of the pond. Doesn't stop them from being complete bastards though. Very aggressive species. This is the only thing I'm scared of! you should see me run like a child when one starts buzzing around me.
This guy is covered in pollen, must have been feeding on nectar recently. Look at those mega jaws! Perfectly capable of tearing wood from trees to build nests.

Hallmen style beauty dish with a Nikon SB24 for lighting.
A common waxbill in amongst the vines of Spier vineyard near Stellenbosch. These birds are native to South Africa, but have been introduced to parts of Europe. Saw a small flock today on the banks of the Ria Formosa near Faro, but didn't manage to get a shot off.
I love the bandit mask worn by these birds.
Common Greenshank / tringa nebularia. Morston Quay, Norfolk. 12/03/22.
'A SOLITARY GREENSHANK.'
When I first found the elegant Greenshank, it was actively feeding and completely unfazed by a large group of Brent Geese nearby.
Interestingly, whilst they bickered with each other, readily adopting threat postures, not once did they react to the little wader!
Common Fumitory / fumaria officinalis. Nottinghamshire. 23/05/22.
'APHID MAGNET.'
I was blown away by this, my first sighting of Common Fumitory. Regarded by some as a weed, what fabulous two-toned little flowers it had! Each one had a prominent spur, many of which are shown in this image.
I've read that the flowers are very rarely pollinated by insects, so are self-fertilisers. Despite this, the plant seems a firm favourite with aphids. If viewed large, you will see c10 clinging to the stem and presumably feeding?
BEST VIEWED LARGE.
