Male Eider Duck

Seahouses, Northumberland Uk

Sur la route pour l'île Brier, nous avons arrêté sur cette plage et nous avons découvert ces deux eiders .

Eid el fitr is a Muslim holiday that marks the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting. Eid is an Arabic word meaning "festivity", while Fiṭr means "to break the fast" (and can also mean "nature", from the word "fitrah") and so symbolizes the breaking of the fasting period.

Thanks for the visit guys

Adherents of the Abrahamic religions - Jews, Christians and Muslims - all believe in One God. There is only one God, we all believe in the same God.

Eid Mubarak marks the end of the Islamic month Ramadan, which is the month of fasting. It is celebrated on the first day of the new month Shawwal.

Happy Eid to all Muslims. May God's blessings be with you.

A female with 3 chicks were in the marina without worrying about us. It was the first time I photographed this species so closely.

Une femelle et ces petits étaient dans la marina sans se préoccuper de nous. C'était la première fois que je photographiais cette espèce de si près.

Beau voyage photo, avec distanciation sociale, ce qui est l'idéal en photographie animalière. Je commence avec les poses classiques. D'autres poses différentes les prochains jours. /

See you after Eid traveling now!

Ramadan is over ... It's time to rejoice in the safest way we can. Stay blessed.

عيد فطر مبارك .. كل عام وأنتم بخير

Les couples se suivent sur l'eau. Les femelles ne semblent pas être sur les nids. Aucun bébé en vue... L'an passé, le 15 juin, les bébés étaient en grand nombre sur l'eau avec les femelles et les mâles étaient presque tous partis. /

The couples follow each other on the water. Females do not appear to be on the nests. No babies in sight ... Last year, on June 15, many babies were out on the water with the females and the males were almost all gone.
