Male Common Darter resting on a gurse bush. Not an ideal day for macros because of the breezy conditions but captured this dragonfly in a sheltered spot.
Common Loons have done well across northern New England and New York. We have cleaner water and have reduced the use of lead in fishing.
Melanitta nigra. This is a male Common Scoter. They breed on freshwater lakes in northern Europe including a small and declining population in northern Scotland. Birds from Scandinavia and Russia winter at sea on the coasts of western Europe. There is a large wintering population in the Irish Sea and some of these birds are seen at inland lakes in northern Britain during late March and early April on their migration back to their breeding grounds. This is one of those migrants photographed on the lake at York Universities’ Heslington East campus. It’s heavily cropped to less than a quarter of the sensor area, so the quality isn’t great but I was pleased to be able to photograph one locally.

Throughout this project am revisiting Greenham Common where I made a series of work last year. Wanting to build upon my previous project and plan to focus on the smaller unnoticed military remains within the common and to study how a place that was once of extremely high security is now free for the public to roam. I am experimenting with colour infrared film (Aerochrome), using high aesthetical qualities to highlight the many important happenings in the space. I feel this will challenge the way people see Greenham Common allowing viewers to metaphorically see the unseen by highlighting the beauty of the landscape allowing me to share with the viewer the amazing history behind the land.
Common Ringlet (Coenonympha tullia; Hodges#4582) - Lamoine State Park, Lamoine, Maine
This guy was a first for me, and it reminded me so much so of the Small Heath (Coenonympha pamphilus) butterflies I had seen in Ireland that it make it more difficult to find an ID since here in the U.S. "Heath" is not in any part of their name
(though they are indeed related).
Americans!
I guess it must be in our DNA to be different.
Note: This guy appears to be subspecies Coenonympha tullia inornata (a.k.a. the Inornate Ringlet)

One of a series of shots of common kingfishers, (Alcedo atthis). These were photographed from the North Marshes hide at Tophill Low nature reserve in East Yorkshire, UK. There is quite a lot of vegetation growing at the edges of the water, making a clear view a little tricky at this time of year and the distance from the hide to the nearest likely perches is a bit further than some of the other hides at the reserve, but this was where the kingfishers were favouring when I visited last week.
