The picture of this male Common Yellowthroat Warbler was taken in Central Park in the Ramble during spring migration.
A colony of 100+ pairs of Common Terns have taken up residence in recent years on an old barge being used as a breakwater at the marina in downtown Shediac, New Brunswick. Users of the marina say they are being attcked by the terns and the terns are defficating all over their boats and they want the terns to move away. Attempts to discourage the birds in past years have failed so this year a large net has been placed over top of the nesting site to theoretically keep the birds away.
The terns returned from their wintering areas in the tropics this past weekend and have taken up residence on top of the netting and are trying to get to their nesting sites below. Nobody is sure what they will do but they are actively courting and the males are bringing in small fish which they are feeding to the females. I fear they may start laying eggs on top of the netting which will result in the eggs rolling or being blown into the water. A solution needs to be found soon or these birds may lose a breeding season......
This video clip was taken this morning (May 26/09).
Male Common Crossbill (Loxia curvirostra) at Llyn Llech Owain Country Park near Llanelli, Carmarthenshire, Wales.
Another one from the west side of the Isle of Arran. The scenery is so good there, that I quite like the bird small in the frame.
As a group, I love waders with their id challenges, lovely voices, often elaborate displays and often amazing migrations. I usually see many, many more common sandpipers in Tanzania than I do at home in Lochwinnoch even though they breed within half a mile of my house! Very common and widespread in Tanzania during the northern winter.

The common kingfisher also known as Eurasian kingfisher, or river kingfisher, is a small kingfisher with seven subspecies recognized within its wide distribution across Eurasia and North Africa. Wikipedia
Scientific name: Alcedo atthis
Higher classification: Alcedo
Rank: Species
The Common Guillemot or Common Murre (Uria aalge) is a large auk. It is also known as the Thin-billed Murre in North America. It has a circumpolar distribution, occurring in low-Arctic and boreal waters in the North-Atlantic and North Pacific. It spends most of its time at sea, only coming to land to breed on rocky cliff shores or islands.
Common Guillemots have fast direct flight but are not very agile. They are more manoeuvrable underwater, typically diving to depths of 30–60 m (100–200 ft), and depths of up to 180 m (600 ft) have been recorded.
Common Guillemots breed in colonies at high densities, nesting pairs may be in bodily contact with their neighbours. They make no nest, their single egg is incubated on bare rock. Eggs hatch after ~30 days incubation. The chick is born downy, and can regulate its body temperature after 10 days. They leave the nest site in around 20 days accompanied by the male parent. Chicks cannot fly when they leave the nest but are capable of diving as soon as they hit the water. The female stays at the nest site about 14 days after the chick has left.
The Common Guillemot is a close relative of the Razorbill and both can be seen nesting side-by-side in colonies.
Common or Perenial Cornflower (Centaurea Montana). Very pretty flower that seems to attract loads of little insects.

The resident Common Bronzewing Pigeons in my street are a little flighty and I have never managed a decent shot so I was pleasantly surprised when I stalked in close enough to this male on the weekend.

A Common Redpoll in my front yard. Now that I have a bird feeder out there I get to spend a bit more time shooting these quick little guys which is good "Reflex Photography." I call it Reflex Photography because its fast paced and I think more reflex than anything.
Øresundsinstituttet presenterar den nya analysen "Life Science Across the Øresund" som är den största analys som hittills gjort av det dansk-svenska life science-klustret Medicon Valley.
Se rapport og optagelsen af præsentationen:
www.oresundsinstituttet.dk/ny-analyse-om-medicon-valley-l...
Analysen presenterades 22 juni 2021 vid ett LIVE-sänt möte i KLP Ejendommes nya byggnad Hub1 i Ørestad som fortfarande är under färdigställande. Med på bilden är Petter Hartman (vd Medicon Valley Alliance) och Mef Nilbert (forskningschef chef Kræftens Bekæmpelse i Köpenhamn) i ett samtal som leds av Øresundsinstituttets vd Johan Wessman.
Analysen är en del av Interregprojektet "Greater Copenhagen Life Science Analysis Initiative" som drivs i samarbete mellan det dansk-svenska kunskapscentrat Øresundsinstituttet och nätverks- och projektorganisationen Medicon Valley Alliance och med finansiering från Interreg ØKS, Region Skåne och Region Själland
