First winter of this young Common moorhen. This is hard to find food when water is frozen. Golden hour light
HWW!
Seeing more of these intelligent birds around. Populating is a good thing. :-)
Still feeling badly ill. It will pass.
Thanks for Viewing.
The common merganser or goosander is a large seaduck of rivers and lakes in forested areas of Europe, Asia, and North America. The common merganser eats mainly fish. It nests in holes in trees.

Thank you all for your kind responses.
Apparently the so-called Common Sandpiper is not as common as it once was as there has been a progressive decrease in numbers since 1968, though they are still quite common on northern rivers and lakes. The current British population is estimated at 13,000 pairs. Our birds winter in Iberia and Northwest Africa arriving back in late March and April. Studies have shown that they are very site faithful to their breeding grounds, but they are also site faithful to their wintering grounds. It's almost as if they have two different time shares for six months of the year. This photograph shows their very long tail which they habitually bob. When I watched their tiny, fluffy chicks, they also bobbed their tiny tails in an exaggerated fashion. This one was on a Pennine reservoir not far from where I live.
Wikipedia: The common yellowthroat (Geothlypis trichas), also known as the yellow bandit or Maryland yellow-throat, is a New World warbler. It is an abundant breeder in North America, ranging from southern Canada to central Mexico.

With Summer season ending, I’m already thinking about photographing wintering waterfowl. Once again, I will be visiting this amazing location where you can photograph Common Eiders, and other ducks, at very close distance without a need of risking a fall at the infamous, and very slippery, Barnegat Jetty🙈
With the guidance of the information included in my guide, you will know exactly where and how I’m taking this kind of photographs, even with a 100-400mm lens literally few steps from the parking lot. More information can be found here: www.greggard.com/location-guides/common-eiders-new-englan...
Thank you in advance for kind comments!

A thriving group of Common Bonnets (Mycena galericulata) covered a thick fallen tree branch all over. This is a widespread species of fungi belonging to a big Mycena family. The genus name “Mycena” originates from the ancient Greek work” mykes” meaning “fungus”. The scientific epithet “galericulata” comes from the Latin word ‘galer’ which is be translated as ‘helmet’ or ‘hat’. If you compare its small cap with the length of the stem it sits on – it is indeed an elegant ‘fungus with a small hat’. Their appearance also reflected in other names like the ‘helmeted high-stool’, the ‘togue mycena’, and the ‘rosy-gill fairy helmet’. A rosy colour refers to the tint of the gills these fungi could develop when aged. Beechwood fungi. Lansdown near Bath, BANES, Somerset, England UK.
Thank you for your visit, favours and comments, much appreciated.
