The colourful and delightful chaffinch is a regular garden visitor across the UK. Look out for it hopping about on the ground under birdtables and hedges.
My first Common Redpoll shot of the season. Nice to see them back. I hope I get more opportunities.

Common Buckeye butterfly on Butterfly Bush. June 23, 2022. Hopefully, this will be one of a few Buckeye photos this year. Their colors tend to be different in the fall. Nature's camouflage at work as they adapt to their surroundings.

When the ice recedes just a few meters from the shoreline of the lake here at my favorite local park lake, the male Common Goldeneyes come in from the nearby Saskatchewan River to claim their bit of open water to attract the females and fight off rivals.
This male was swimming close to a female, and went to this typical courtship pose when another male flew in nearby. The brown mass under his foot are the rump and tail feathers he twisted around while doing this.
I hope to get shots of the often spectacular battles between the males before things get sorted out.
William Hawrelak Park. Edmonton, Alberta.
I've been trying to shoot butterflies this year in more of a scene than getting them so close-up.
I hope everyone enjoys this image! :D
Two pictures uploaded today...
1) A (rare) Rosy Starling perched on some iron work (i,e. you can't miss)
2) A Common Tern in a fast action freeze
The Tern was x1000 more tricky to take
The Rosy 1,000,000/1 chance to find in your back garden
So 'the rare' or 'the spectacular'?
Photographically of course it's the spectacular., but in a year's time it'll be the rare you'll remember
Although this bird has 'Common' as part of it's name, it's not common for me, in fact, it's another new bird for me!
I captured this Common Gallinule while visiting Guajome Lake Regional Park. While surveying the numerous coots and other birds responding to being fed by park visitors, I spied this single individual close to some reeds in the lake. I managed to capture some images of it just before an American Coot decided it was too close and swam over and chased it away.

Wikipedia: The common flameback (Dinopium javanense), also referred to as the common goldenback, is a small (28–30 cm), three-toed woodpecker in the family Picidae, found throughout South and Southeast Asia. There are six subspecies currently recognized.
As shy and secretive birds, common flamebacks are unlikely to be found in urban areas. They live in a variety of habitats, ranging from moist open forests, to scrubs, and mangroves. Although they generally enjoy lowlands, they can reach altitudes of 1700m above sea level in India and in those cases prefer living in pine forests.
Their distribution ranges across Southeast Asia, from the Western Ghats in India to the Indochinese peninsula and several of the Greater Sunda Islands.

Last week lots of water was opening up but since then it all froze again with a little sliver open today. Isle Lake Alberta

One of the most abundant European dragonflies, the male common darter is typically a vivid red colour and the female turns from a yellow colour to a deep chocolate brown. The common darter can be found in a wide variety of wetland habitats, but generally prefer to breed on still waters such as ponds and lakes. Info: The Wildlife Trusts.
Many thanks to people who view or comment on my photos.
This is a common gallinule. Once thought to be the same species as the common moorhen found it Europe, but it was officially declared a separate species in 2011. Found this guy pecking around like a chicken before sliding into the water to swim like a duck.

Female from this summer that came in amazingly close in the setting sun. This bird should've been further north breeding, but stayed for a while at Shoreline's famous lake. Wasn't even the best sighting of the day,
