I ended up in the original part of the reserve which I do not visit so often these days. There were a few common blues around and they were settling a bit.
I am very pleased with this photo.

The male Cuckoo's eyes didn't miss a thing.
He was a stunning bird ...

'A NEW BEGINNING.'
One of the many Common Dog Violets just beginning to open locally.
I'm pleased with the sepal details I've managed to capture - you can see the rounded appendages protruding upwards very clearly.

February 2025: The female Common Kingfisher that has attracted the attention of the local birding community has a verocious appetite, so I guess if a lot goes in, a lot needs to come out - Alexandra, Singapore 🇸🇬
Common Buzzard snapped from a vineyard hilltop, providing the side-on perspective I was looking for.
"Common" because it's widespread; not because it's commonly seen. A nester at this venue. Lake St. Clair.
Common Tern / sterna hirundo. Straws Bridge, Derbyshire. 15/05/20.
'LONG DISTANCE TRAVELLERS.'
I was over the moon to encounter these two elegant long distance travellers today. They were incredibly confiding whilst I made some images of them ... my 'Red Letter Day'! :-))
Common Gull / larus canus. Straws Bridge, Derbyshire. 04/03/26.
It's good to get a few Common Gulls visiting my local lake during the winter months. Although gentle looking birds, they are very aggressive when it comes to getting food from BHGs. They chase them relentlessly until food, (usually bread!) is dropped in panic. They then swoop down to snatch it, retreating to a quiet spot to gorge it down. This skua-like behaviour is usually accompanied by loud, strident calls.

This one was birthing and the pup remains within the foetal sack.
Grimsay, North Uist, Outer Hebrides.
13/03/21 Burbage Common Road, Hinckley: GBRF Class 66 66783 'The Flying Dustman' passed with 4L29 Birch Coppice - Felixstowe North.
The Common Death Adder (Acanthophis antarcticus) is not so common in the Brigalow Belt bioregion of Queensland anymore. The Brigalow Belt has one of the highest reptile diversities of any of the bioregions (there are 85 bioregions) in Australia, however land clearing for agriculture, gas and mining has reduced it to just 10% of what it once was. This has put a lot of pressure on the wildlife of the region, in particular there are a number of snakes which are now threatened due to the land clearing. Brigalow Belt, QLD.
