"Common Eland (Taurotragus oryx)
The eland is the largest of the African antelope species, males reaching 6 feet tall at the shoulder and weighing 1500 lbs. Both males and females have straight, screw-like horns that can grow to 3 feet long. A flap of skin called a dewlap hangs down at the front of the neck, and bears a tuft of hair on the end of it. They are found in small herds in open habitats of east Africa."

Name : Common Kingfisher
Binomial nomenclature: Alcedo atthis
Status: least concern, resident
Fairly common breeding resident all around the island, but rare in high hills. Seen near water-bodies waiting patiently for fish, as in this occasion. At times, it hovers still in air looking for food, as seen here

Two of three Common Snipe i saw feeding today at RSPB Minsmere. This is also the first time i have seen these birds and it would have been better for the pictures if they were not heavily backlit by the low winter sun.
Common Man Down was the first act to take the stage on Sunday, 8-21-11 before KMFDM at The Mad Hatter in Covington, KY.

The Ronny Creek walk has a family of Wombat just to the left of the board walk at the beginning, which, in April, when we went, included an adorable little baby, or Joey. The photos there are also in my stream. The day after these were taken was the we saw the baby with these wombats.
Common Wombat - Vombatus Ursinus
The only 'bare-nosed' wombat species, out of the three species in Australia, is a reasonably common resident (particularly within protected habitat) from just over the QLD-NSW border downwards into Victoria as well as Flinder's Island and Tasmania. It inhabits cool, open forests and grasslands, often in mountainious regions. Breeding is all year round, but the mother will only raise one young in 2 years, assuming it survives. Destruction of habitat and roadkill are the two main threats to wombats, but, especially in some more southerly National Parks, such as Cradle Mountain and Narawntapu in Tasmania, and Wilson's Promontory in Victoria, Wombats are very common, and will allow humans to get within metres of them, due to habituation.

840mm-1150mm

The common myna (Acridotheres tristis), sometimes spelled mynah, also sometimes known as "Indian myna", is a member of the family Sturnidae (starlings and mynas) native to Asia. An omnivorous open woodland bird with a strong territorial instinct, the myna has adapted extremely well to urban environments.
The range of the common myna is increasing at such a rapid rate that in 2000 the IUCN Species Survival Commission declared it one of the world's most invasive species and one of only three birds in the top 100 species that pose an impact to biodiversity, agriculture and human interests. In particular, the species poses a serious threat to the ecosystems of Australia where it was named "The Most Important Pest/Problem".
This one took off like a bullet and one can't help but notice the aerodynamics of its flight.
We went to the Scottish island North Uist especially to see Short Eared Owls. And we did see loads of them, but every time we had our cameras ready they flew off immediately. Fortunately there was our little friend Snipy, waiting patiently for us on his post. We could take as many pictures as we liked, and at the end of the photo session Snipy was so relaxed that he even fell asleep...

In these photos you can see them foraging for food in the trees. They are also licking the leaves on the tree where the nectar put out by the keepers has dribbled off the branches. The marmosets love this nectar and can't get enough of it!
I love this shot as they will hang upside down so they can reach their food.
