Common Five-ring ( Ypthima baldus )
A small butterfly that occur at all elevations, in the forest, in secondary growth and even in the gardens. This one i shot in the flowering bush, resting long enough on that litte flower.
The guys in Common Crooks came up to Sacramento to do a shoot awhile back. This is one of the finished shots from the shoot.

Common Cuckoo / cuculus canorus. 16/05/19.
No need to say a lot .. ridiculously close, impossible to fit in the frame, absolutely stunning.
One of those 'Pinch yourself to check if this is actually real' moments!!!
I hit the jackpot … K-e-r-ching :-))
This young male Cuckoo was located in a reedbed which also held an older male and a gorgeous female. All of them were highly vocal, often engaged in pursuit flights, stand offs and there was even one attempt at mating on a telegraph wire.

I made a short visit to this reserve before going to try and see brown hairstreaks as I was early - it turns out possibly a poor decision!
I have seen few common blues this year but there were several at this reserve.
I immediately deleted the original after making this compacted version for Flickr as the photo has no particular appeal to me.
I think he/she is a Nashville Warbler, if someone knows differently, please correct me. It hit the window today but made a pretty quick recovery and flew away, thank goodness. Identified by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.
The road was closed at the far end of Lochindorb, we explored further to find out why and discovered this large Common Gull breeding colony by the side of the road. It may be the reason because we were not able to find another, unless the authorities are trying to keep tourists away from Lochindorb itself.
The Common Chaffinch (Fringilla coelebs), also called by a wide variety of other names, is a small passerine bird in the finch family Fringillidae.
The Common Chaffinch's large double white wing bars, white tail edges and greenish rump easily identify this 14–16 cm long species. The breeding male is unmistakable, with his reddish underparts and a blue-grey cap. The female is drabber and greener, but still obvious.
The name chaffinch comes from Old English ceaffinc, literally "chaff finch", and is the source of the nickname chaffy or chaffie. The bird is so named for its tendency to peck the grain left out in farmyards.
This bird is widespread and very familiar throughout Europe. It is the most common finch in western Europe, and the second most common bird in the British Isles.
This bird is not migratory in the milder parts of its range, but vacates the colder regions in winter. It builds its nest in a tree fork, and decorates the exterior with moss or lichen to make it less conspicuous. It lays about six eggs, which are greenish-blue with purple speckling.
The main food of the Common Chaffinch is seeds, but unlike most finches, the young are fed extensively on insects, and adults also eat insects in the breeding season.
Spotted in Derwent Valley, Peak District, UK.

A Common Murre at Cape St. Mary's Ecological Reserve, Newfoundland. There are up to 10,000 nesting pairs at the reserve.
A sunny early spring day brought out this common redpoll. I'm very happy with my Tamron 150-600 mm G2. I used FoCal software to set it up with the Tap-In Console.

Breeding can be a dangerous activity for these Common Noddy, with those long, sharp bills presenting a challenge. It was fascinating to watch this pair early one morning on Lady Elliot Island, particularly as they locked bills while attempting to copulate, their nictitating membranes covering their eyes to provide some protection.
Female Common Crossbill on the ground checking if the discarded tissue was edible - never seen such behaviour.
