Last April, I had the pleasure of photographing this beautiful male snowy owl. It this shot, it fluffed itself up and shook as the finale of its preening routine.
A yellow billed cuckoo coming to investigate a few Ovenbirds singing loudly in an opening of a forest. There are many types of birds that live and breed in the forest, and cuckoos are among the most unique. Unlike their European cousins the North American Yellow Billed Cuckoo do lay their own eggs in their own nest, even though they can be nest intruders as well. They are one of the animals that eat gypsy moths, so they are going to have a heck of year this year as we’ve got a horrible outbreak this year!
Aufgeplustert wie ein kleiner Feder- / Flauschball saß das Rotkehlchen im Schnee und beobachtet die Umgebung und die fallenden Schneeflocken :)
This very young barred owlet was branching out for the first time away from the nest.

Little Owl (Athane noctau)
The Little Owl is not a native species, having been introduced to Britain in the 1870s, but it appears to have occupied a vacant niche without having any detrimental impact on other species. Numbers and breeding distribution increased gradually, reaching an estimated breeding population of between 4,000 and 8,500 pairs at the time of Project Barn Owl. The current distribution extends across England, north to the Scottish borders and west into Wales, where it is largely confined to Anglesey and to eastern parts of the country. There have been very few records from Ireland.
Pairs remain on their breeding territories throughout the year, with territorial calling evident during autumn – when young birds are searching for breeding territories – and again during spring. Small cavities are favoured for breeding, these often located within hedgerow trees or the walls of old agricultural buildings. Favoured nesting chambers tend to be located some distance from the cavity entrance and with little daylight reaching them. The male will often perch close to the nest cavity while his mate is incubating her clutch of eggs.
Little Owls often hunt from a perch, taking small mammals and large invertebrates, including earthworms, cockchafers and other beetles. There is evidence to suggest that breeding success is linked to the availability of small mammals, though some pairs evidently do well on other prey; a pair breeding on the island of Skomer, for example, took a large number of Storm Petrels (Courtesy BTO).
Thanks for viewing my photos and for any favourites and comments, it’s much appreciated 👍

The Dragon isn't as chubby as he looks in this photo. He weighs a bit more than in summer but in fact there still isn't much fat under all this fluff. Even the vet was suprised when she weighed him on Monday and realised that he is only slightly above his ideal weight. The Dragon feels much better now but only stayed outside for a short moment. He was only in the garden because I went out to refill the birdfeeder but it was too cold and wet for his taste and he happily returned inside wirh me.

Snowy Egret
Egretta thula
I watched for several minutes as this egret fished from is perch on a rock in perfect late afternoon light. It suddenly decided to fluff up all its feathers, apparently in breeding plumage. It only lasted a few seconds, I was fortunate to capture it mid-fluff.

A bellbird looking a bit ill just sitting on a branch and not reacting as I walked past quite close to it.
Hope I didn't catch anything!
