Whooper swans (cygnus cygnus) spend most of their time in subarctic waters of the Northern Hemisphere, where they breed. As it might tell from their wings they are powerful in flight. Each winter they migrate south in large flocks, flying hundreds and sometimes thousands of miles. Those which arrive in Ireland and Britain come from Iceland. They announce their presence in the estuaries and wetlands where they settle with a deep honking sound.

 

Some interesting facts:

1. Finland's national bird

2. They pair for life

3. Among heaviest bird in flight

4. Fly at altitudes up to 8,000 ft

These Prinia are great acrobats and are constantly moving and hopping around it seems. I have been lucky to get some decent looks at them, I think. I enjoy watching them hang upside down while eating sometimes... :-)

We spotted this Marbled Godwit at Stinson Beach National Recreation Area. Stinson’s white sand and pristine oceanfront make it one of the best swimming beaches in northern California. The birds on this beach had no fear of humans as they startled only when being chased by children. This graceful shorebird is speckled in browns with a cinnamon wash that is especially noticeable when it spreads its long and pointed wings to take flight. We had a wonderful time splashing in the water and can’t wait to get back.

Using burst exposures, you can never be sure exactly what success rate you may have. When I saw this on the ground glass,

I could scarcely believe my eyes. I've never gotten anything quite so amazing.

Daucus carota flowers from midsummer to autumn. After flowering, the flowerhead folds inward to develop a concave seedhead.

This magnificently graceful bird of prey is unmistakable with its reddish-brown body, angled wings and deeply forked tail. It was saved from national extinction by one of the world's longest-running protection programmes. It has now been successfully re-introduced to England and Scotland. Red kites are listed under Schedule 1 of The Wildlife and Countryside Act. What they eat: Mainly carrion and worms, but opportunistic and will occasionally take small mammals (Courtesy RSPB).

I've been waiting for so long

Now I've finally found someone to stand by me

We saw the writing on the wall

As we felt this magical fantasy

 

Now with passion in our eyes

There's no way we could disguise it secretly

So we take each other's hand

Cause we seem to understand the urgency

 

Just remember

You're the one thing

I can't get enough of

So I'll tell you something

This could be love

Because

 

I've had the time of my life

No, I never felt like this before

Yes, I swear it's the truth

And I owe it all to you

 

Hey, baby

You just have to love watching the Northern Harrier hunt as they gracefully fly low over the fields. Pole Farm, Mercer Meadows, Lawrence Township, NJ.

Thinking of the incredibly graceful and gifted Olympic skaters who are competing in Beijing

Rains coming while the sunsets in the Masai Mara. A giraffe in the distance makes a nice silhouette.

I think that this butterfly is so very beautiful and graceful! I hope you all will enjoy it! Have a super evening!

It’s rainy but the flower keeps her graceful pose.
