Since Stagecoach took over the 246, double deckers have become more common, particularly on the weekends. Enviro400MMC Smart Hybrid 11072 (YX68UTT) passes through Leaves Green on route 246
Series of six. I haven't been down to the local harbour since the lockdown but the sun was out and I needed a change of scenery. The Common Seals were waiting for the tide to drop them comfortably on the mud and having a little play while they waited. Probably mum and pup.
December 2024: I was jumping for joy, much like one of the beauties pictured here, when I saw my nemesis bird, the Common Green Magpie, and there were two of them - Sattal, Uttarakhand, India 🇮🇳
Best described by eBird: A neon-colored, noisy, highly social bird of lowland and mid-altitude subtropical forests. Surprisingly difficult to spot as it glides from tree to tree in the middle and upper levels of the forest. Memorable if seen well: bright green with chestnut-tipped wings, a black mask, and a coral-red bill
A series of three shots showing this young seal getting into position for a nap on Sandsayre Pier, Leebitton, Shetland. I must say he looks quite contented in the last image!

It’s always nice to see the familiar face of the Common Tody-Flycatcher. We came across this one as we started up the Andes in central Peru. I couldn’t help myself, I had to click a few photos even though we were in a hurry, these guys are just too cute.

My backyard Blackie has not felt the need during the cold weather to make an early start on her yearly project.
But that all changed the other morning as she made trip after trip to the gutter to pull out a good supply of moss, mud and leaves.
Fickle that she is, she seems to be building in a backyard about two houses away.
Two young eider ducks swim along with what I'm guessing is most likely their mother. They were a part of a group of eider ducks that were swimming and fishing.

This has been a good Spring for Common Cotton Grass (Eriophorum angustifolium) on the Derbyshire moors. This was on the lower reaches of White Edge on Big Moor.
The common waxbill (Estrilda astrild), also known as the St Helena waxbill, is a small passerine bird belonging to the estrildid finch family. It is native to sub-Saharan Africa but has been introduced to many other regions of the world.
It is a small bird, 4 to 5 inches in length with a wingspan of 4.5 inches and a weight of 3/5 to 3/4 ounce. It has a slender body with short rounded wings and a long graduated tail. The bright red bill of the adult is the colour of sealing wax giving the bird its name. The plumage is mostly grey-brown, finely barred with dark brown. There is a red stripe through the eye and the cheeks and throat are whitish. There is often a pinkish flush to the underparts and a reddish stripe along the centre of the belly depending on the subspecies. The rump is brown and the tail and vent are dark. Females are similar to the males but are paler with less red on the belly. Juveniles are duller with little or no red on the belly, fainter dark barring and a black bill.
This beautiful Common Waxbill ia a lifer and was photographed on an early morning family outing at Mo-Lito Farm, Limuru, Kenya
This young Common Yellowthroat faced many challenges ahead but when I saw it was busy exploring its neighbourhood, probably not far from the nest where it was born. This is the same individual as in this photo: www.flickr.com/photos/luminouscompositions/51435513024/in...
This bird was among Cattails at the north end of Weed Lake near Langdon in southern Alberta, Canada.
Catching birds taking off or landing is a skill I have yet to develop. I admire some of those I follow who do this so well. So here is my latest effort.
The Common Tern is able to drink both salt and fresh water. Like many seabirds, it has nasal glands that excrete salt.

This is the female of our backyard Blackbird pair.
I've been watching them over the past week or so as she has been preparing to go to nest.
Pretty excited to see her collecting this morning. The nest location is in our neighbour's yard.
