Common Coot / fulica atra. Straws Bridge, Derbyshire. 08/02/21.
Despite a frozen lake surface, this bird had several spats with another Coot. I witnessed noisy interactions and ungainly chasing over the ice which always resulted in the 'intruder' skittering further away.
There were no physical attacks, yet if the image is viewed large, there looks to be dried blood on the Coot's beak.
BEST VIEWED LARGE.

I am quite fortunate to have these wonderful Common Bronzewings as residents on my property. It can be quite easy to overlook the species seen regularly, however this is not the case for me with these birds as I just love the array of colours they exhibit. From the eye catching rainbow of colours of the iridescent feathers on the wings, to the understated pastel greys, browns & maroons of their plumage. And of course that fawn & white coloured forehead of the male.
This male was waiting out a decent Summer shower.
Common Moorhen / gallinula chloropus. Kirk Hallam, Derbyshire. 27/02/21.
An easy to recognise individual because of the scarring on it's red forehead plate. Maybe the result of a fight with another bird or perhaps a physical defect/disease? It did seem rather lethargic despite it's bright eyes, so maybe an old bird?

...back on Exmoor again today chasing the rare Two-barred Crossbill. I got some amazing views of the Common Xbills. :@)

A couple of the footpaths in the reserve were a few inches underwater and as I made my way along one of them, I suddenly spotted some toads! Some submerged, but this one was just floating there, so I was able to get quite close!

Or, in this case, Common Gas Station-Martin. Kudos to the gas station owner: they left the nests when they painted.

Wikipedia - The Brown Lemur (Eulemur fulvus), is a species of lemur in the family Lemuridae. It is found in Madagascar and Mayotte.
The common brown lemur lives in western Madagascar north of the Betsiboka River and eastern Madagascar between the Mangoro River and Tsaratanana, as well as in inland Madagascar connecting the eastern and western ranges.
The common brown lemur's diet consists primarily of fruits, young leaves, and flowers. In some locations it eats invertebrates, such as cicadas, spiders and millipedes. It also eats bark, sap, soil and red clay. It can tolerate greater levels of toxic compounds from plants than other lemurs can.

The zoo where I volunteer on Mondays is celebrating the birth of two endangered clouded leopard kittens. If you would like to see the newborns, visit the website at the bottom of my description.
Clouded leopards are listed as endangered by the US Fish and Wildlife Service under the United States Endangered Species Act. The species is under significant pressure in the wild from human encroachment and destruction of its habitat, as well as poaching.
The cats, which live in the forests and trees of Southeast Asia, are elusive, and it’s difficult to know how many remain in the wild. The mother and father of the kittens were specifically matched by the Species Survival Plan® (SSP) based on their ancestry, to create the greatest genetic diversity in the population over the next century.
The clouded leopards, Tika and Masala, arrived in December of 2016 from two different facilities to contribute to the future of their species. Naples Zoo is pleased to be a part of this critical program to sustain the clouded leopard population in Zoos.

One of my favourite birds and favourite parts of the Canadian summer.
I've been taking terrible pictures of loons for years, but I'm finally getting the gear and practice in to get some reasonable shots of them 😄
This was a great day to visit Carburn Park. It was great to see the male Pintail duck!
Thanks for your visits and comments. They are all greatly appreciated!
Not normally a bird you can get close to for a photograph due to their sixth sense for people trying to take a pot shot at them.
However this one by the villa was used to people and was on his/her early morning patrol for any ants or similar insects crossing the lawn.
