Always such a photogenic bird - this was taken at the end of the day when the light picked out this white Intermediate Egret against the dark background

 

With the wind ruffling the feathers - this one is in full breeding colours and plumage.

An extension ring extends the distance between your lens and the camera sensor. This reduces the minimum focus distance and allows you to focus closer to your subject. This allows you to depict your subject larger than if you had used the lens without extension rings. www.fotograferenindenatuur.nl/tussenringen-interessant-vo....

It was fun to watch their antics in the water from a distance.

 

A large gull found throughout northern Europe. Adults have a fairly pale gray back, pale eye, and dull pinkish legs. Takes four years for immatures to progress from mostly brown to fully white and gray adult plumage; intermediate plumages are often mottled and messy. Extremely variable plumage can make identification a challenge. Adults can normally be identified by a combination of their large size and pale-gray back. Usually shows a dull pinkish base to the bill by the first winter, and develops a pale eye by the second winter. Some immature birds can fade to almost white, especially in their first or second summer, but they always show darker wingtips. Occurs inland and along the coast, frequenting fishing boats, beaches, lakes, and landfills. Often forms large flocks with other gulls. Google

I've had to put my lens into hospital :( hoping it will be OK.

 

The intermediate egret stalks its prey methodically in shallow coastal or fresh water, including flooded fields. It eats fish, frogs, crustaceans and insects. It often nests in colonies with other herons, usually on platforms of sticks in trees or shrubs. Two to five eggs are laid, the clutch size varying with region.

Intermediate by name this species is half way in size between a Little Egret and the Great White. Taken in isolation when no size comparison is possible it can be separated by the lack of head plumes (Little) and the shorter neck (very long in Great White). The clincher is in the gape which extends well past the eye in the Great White. This one was easy as it is in breeding condition with the orange bill and greenish facial skin

The mottled duck (Anas fulvigula) or mottled mallard is a medium-sized dabbling duck. It is intermediate in appearance between the female mallard and the American black duck. It is closely related to those species, and is sometimes considered a subspecies of the former, but this is inappropriate (see systematics).

 

There are two distinct populations of mottled ducks. One population, A. fulvigula maculosa (mottled duck), lives on the Gulf of Mexico coast between Alabama and Tamaulipas (Mexico); outside the breeding season individual birds may venture as far south as to Veracruz. The other, A. fulvigula fulvigula (Florida duck), is resident in central and south Florida and occasionally strays north to Georgia. The same disjunct distribution pattern was also historically found in the local sandhill cranes.

 

Along the Gulf of Mexico coast, the mottled duck is one of the most frequently banded waterfowl. This is due in part to the fact that it is mostly non-migratory. Approximately one out of every twenty mottled ducks is banded, making it an extremely prized and sought after bird among hunters.- Wikipedia

ebird rarity, SF

 

I found this Snowy Owl sitting at the end of Britannia Pier on the Ottawa River this morning. Based on the intermediate degree of barring of the front, five black bars on the tail and the rather large size, I conclude this is an adult female. Snowy Owls often use the river banks and ice to rest or hunt during migratory movements.

MY VISIT TO KOLKATA ZOO - 17 [ This series is dedicated to my elder brother HGM ]

 

PLEASE VIEW AT MAXIMUM TO GET MAXIMUM OUT OF IT

 

This is the image of a series called " MY VISIT TO KOLKATA ZOO ". This zoo is very unfriendly for the Photographers. Most of the animals and birds are kept in thick netting [sometimes multiple] with iron bars and Railings to keep the on lookers away from the cage. So the scope of Photography is very limited here. One has to use a telephoto lens above 400 mm to zoom out those bars and nettings to obtain an uninterrupted image of the display. This can be done only when the subject remains in a particular distance from the cage nettings.
