A typical look and scream while these youngsters are awake and scabbling over who gets fed next.
That's the two other siblings in the foreground and one of the parents above.
these are the Sunbirds that visit my garden every day, they are as fast as lightning as they flit between the fuchsias hanging full with nectar and have really loud calls for such small birds but they are a delight to watch, the males are very bright and colourful while the females are even smaller and very dull

This common myna (acridotheres tristis) visited the open land behind our bungalow, in Trou D'Eau Douce, Mauritius. By far the loudest bird around, it even bested the several red-whiskered bulbuls.
The American Redstarts were a often seen warbler during the spring migration here. The males have a song of several high pitched, rapid notes followed by a note that they hold and fade. This male was giving it all he could !

Sint Nicholaskerk is the most seen and at the same time overlooked church in Amsterdam as well as being one its most recent constructions, no one can miss this iconic structure upon arrival to the city walking from Centraal Station your eye is immediately drawn to it at 58 m in height it towers over the city skyline.
This Roman Catholic Church was designed by Architect Adrianus Bleijs and is a nod to the past combining elements of neo-Baroque and neo-Renaissance styles, completed in 1887 it was made a minor Basilica in 2012.
The church is dedicated to the 4th century charitable patron saint of children that became our Santa Claus as well as the patron saint of sailors and prostitutes, another winning combination.
In the Netherlands Santa Claus is known as Sinterklaas and a feast has been celebrated for over 700 years in his name and adopted in the early part of 20th century the tradition of leaving small gifts in children’s shoes was practiced on Dec 6th which has evolved now to become a Dec 5th evening tradition of gathering of family and friends to exchange gifts and laughter.
While Dutch Sinterklaas celebrations are mainly for the children its adult component is an annual grievance poem written to the recipient that must rhyme and be read out loud by the subject at the evening party all in good fun but beware you may get as good as you give.

This has got to be one of the noisiest waterways I know of, yet at other parts it can be so tranquil and peaceful. This is the stunningly beautiful River Etive as it flows through Glen Etive, many people come here by choice for white water rafting.
This buzzard is protecting what is his and the scream was really terrifying
Een buizerd die onder luid gekrijs kenbaar maakt dt er met hem niet te sollen valt
Tell her I need her
Tell her I love her
And it'll be alright.
I'll never be jealous
And I won't be too proud
Cause love is not boastful
No and love is not loud.
Nanday Parakeet (Aratinga nenday) flocks in large numbers, loud and raucous these beauties have an impressive wingspan and are much fun to observe.
Loud silence...

Mi sono alzato alle 5.30 AM stamattina... in cerca di luce. C'è un lungo momento in cui la mente smette di pensare e assorbe i colori della natura come se fossero suoni e vibrazioni. In assoluto silenzio.
Buon sabato :)

Grey-crowned Babbler
Scientific Name: Pomatostomus temporalis
Description: The Grey-crowned Babbler is the largest of Australia's four babbler species. It is dark brown-grey above, with a distinctive grey crown stripe and a dark face mask that contrasts with a white eyebrow. The chin and throat are white, running into a pale grey lower breast. It has a long, curved bill, short rounded wings with cinnamon brown wing patches and a long tail tipped white. The eye is pale yellow in adults. There is a darker-coloured subspecies, rubeculus, in north-western Australia (often called the Red-breasted Babbler), that has a rufous lower breast and darker crown stripe. The Grey-crowned Babbler is a noisy and gregarious bird, usually found in small groups of four to twelve, and is often seen on the ground or in low trees. It is sometimes called the Yahoo, after one of its calls.
Similar species: The Grey-crowned Babbler lacks the dark crown of other babblers and has a yellow rather than a dark eye.
Distribution: The Grey-crowned Babbler is widespread throughout north-western, northern, central and eastern Australia. It is also found in Papua New Guinea.
Habitat: The Grey-crowned Babbler is found in open forests and woodlands, favouring inland plains with an open shrub layer, little ground cover and plenty of fallen timber and leaf litter. May be seen along roadsides and around farms. In south-east Melbourne, small populations survive on golf courses.
Seasonal movements: Sedentary.
Feeding: Grey-crowned Babblers feed on insects and other invertebrates and sometimes eat seeds. They forage in groups of two to fifteen birds on the ground among leaf litter, around fallen trees and from the bark of shrubs and trees (they tend to use trees more than other babblers).
Breeding: Grey-crowned Babblers live and breed in co-operative territorial groups of two to fifteen birds (usually four to twelve). Groups normally consist of a primary breeding pair along with several non-breeding birds (sometimes groups may contain two breeding pairs or two females that both breed). Most members of the group help to build nests, with the primary female contributing the most effort. Two types of nest are built: roost-nests (usually larger and used by the whole group) and brood-nests (for the breeding females), and often old nest sites are renovated and re-used from year to year. The large domed nests are placed in a tree fork 4 m - 7 m high and are made of thick sticks with projections that make a hood and landing platform for the entrance tunnel. The nest chamber is lined with soft grass, bark, wool and feathers. The brooding female (sometimes more than one) is fed by the other group members and all help to feed the nestlings. Larger groups tend to raise more young, and two broods are usually raised per season.
Calls: Loud scolding and chattering calls: 'wee-oo'. Also distinctive 'ya-hoo' duet by breeding female ('yah') and male ('ahoo') repeated six to eight times.
Minimum Size: 25cm
Maximum Size: 29cm
Average size: 27cm
Average weight: 81g
Breeding season: July to February
Clutch Size: Usually two to three, up to five if more than one female.
Incubation: 23 days
Nestling Period: 23 days

Anhinga
This is what I patched together from different sources - hope it is correct:
This is the American Anhinga (Anhinga anhinga). There are the closely related African Anhinga (Anhinga rufa), and Oriental (Anhinga melanogaster) darters. The Australasian darter (Anhinga novaehollandiae) has been classed as a subspecies of the African or African plus Oriental darters. All four have also been classed as a single species.
From Laura's Birding Blog - Laura Erickson's for the Birds -
As befits a species that feeds on rather large fish, the mouth has to be able to open wide.
I've gotten through several more of the 100 backlogged folders of photos - this from 2021.
