The Java sparrow (Lonchura oryzivora), also known as Java finch, Java rice sparrow or Java rice bird, is a small passerine bird. This estrildid finch is a resident breeding bird in Java, Bali and Bawean Indonesia. This one was taken in Amazon World on the Isle of Wight. (UK).
A little nod to my favourite local supplier of Java.
By remote shooting with Playboy Cybergirl Muirina Fae, model/hair/makeup
On Saturday I participated in a remote workshop shoot with model @muirinafae and coordinator @darwinimages. Because I was operating in completely unfamiliar waters, using methods and gear completely new to me and a model 3400 km away from me, I learned a great deal. Plus I gained a newfound appreciation for my old familiar gear! :-)
Java Sparrow (Padda oryzivora), also known as the Java Finch, Java Rice Sparrow, or Java Rice Bird.
Appearance: They are small, about 15-17cm long, with a distinctive gray body, a black head, white cheeks, a thick red bill, and pink feet.
Native Range: Java Sparrows are native to Java, Bali, and Bawean in Indonesia, but they are also popular cage birds and have been introduced to many other countries.
Diet: In the wild, they primarily feed on rice and other seeds.
Social Behavior: They are known for their social monogamy, characterized by mutual courtship and long-lasting pair bonds.
Mating Indicator: Research suggests that in pair-bonded Java Sparrows, the enlargement of their eye rings can signify their readiness to mate.
On est si petit, le monde est si grand
Que serait la vie sans notre maman?
Elle sait d'un mot redonner confiance
Et faire oublier nos chagrins d'enfant.
Refrain
Ma maman est une maman
Comme toutes les mamans
Mais voilà c'est la mienne
Et pour moi qui peut sous mon toit
Apporter la joie?
Voyez-vous, c'est la mienne
Un regard suffit entre nous
Pour deviner notre pensée
Alors je la prends par le cou
Et je la couvre de baisers
Ma maman est une maman
Comme toutes les mamans
Mais voilà c'est la mienne.

Timing is one most important for Landscape Photographer. This shot is the one of my experience how important to prepare properly before execution. I was set my GND 150mm filter, mounted tripod in right place and wait for burning sky shows.
I was extremely motivated to depart the airbnb at which I stayed the previous night.* Thankfully, the Java Joe's on 4th in downtown Des Moines provided a welcome refuge.
* The place smelled like dog and I found a flea on me. Needless to say, if all of the hotel rooms weren't booked, I would have skedaddled sooner.

I recently spent a week in Hawaii. Birding wasn't my focus, but I did see LOTS of birds as I toured parks and gardens near Honolulu.
This Java Sparrow was another species I saw most often foraging in the grass. And like the Chestnut Munias and Common Waxbills, I usually saw them in groups of a half-dozen or more.
NOTE: If you'd like to see more birds and flora from Hawaii, I've created a dedicated album that contains several photos not in my Photostream.
This coffee shop built by the moles is sooooo cute
