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).
Thanks for viewing my photos and for any favourites and comments, it’s much appreciated 👍
♫ Bill Medley · Jennifer Warnes - [I've Had] The Time Of My Life (From "Dirty Dancing" Soundtrack) ♫
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
