Este arrecife que se puede observar desde el mirador de las sirenas, junto al faro de Cabo de Gata, es una de las vistas más emblemáticas y fotografiadas del Parque. Está situado en el punto geográfico exacto del cabo de Gata, por tanto es la parte más oriental del sur de España. Seguramente el lugar debe su nombre a la presencia de focas monje que habitaban este arrecife y que los antiguos navegantes podían confundir con sirenas, actualmente ya no hay presencia de estos mamíferos en la costa de Cabo de Gata.
Las formaciones del arrecife que se elevan por encima del nivel del agua son antiguas chimeneas volcánicas, y que deben su color oscuro al material volcado por ellas. Desde lo alto del mirador se pueden observar los escarpados acantilados de la zona y en el fondo, el agua que rodea el arrecife, es como un cristal que nos permite observar el mosaico del fondo marino coloreando el mar de turquesas, verdes y todas las tonalidades de azul.

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
I don't know what this Red-necked Grebe is transporting, it almost looks like a dirty net of some kind, but it ends up part of the grebe's nest. Makes sense!
Thought I'd give the ole 2X tele a try with the 600 and the new R5. I was curious to see how that combination works together and I think it looks great! What do you think?
Taken 14 June 2021 in Anchorage, Alaska.
Here's a Red-shouldered Hawk on its way to the nest with some additional nesting material. I believe that the Florida Red-shouldered breed earlier than the species in other parts of the country. Once site had them breeding from January to May when general reference books state the species breed from May to July. In any event, I'm hoping that they are not just faking us out and that we have some new chicks to celebrate. In the course of my reading I learned that the females are larger than the males (probably smarter too) and that the pair are monogamous. Having said that, I've never been able to see the size difference but will pay more attention in the future. Happy 2023 everyone. (Buteo lineatus)
Their long fine beaks allow them to extract otherwise inaccessible seeds from thistles and teasels. Not that you can see it in this image. LOL

Some boys kiss me
Some boys hug me
I think they're ok
If they don't give me proper credit
I just walk away
This nuthatch flew to a tree right next to me and began pulling at this fine material for nest building. Completely ignoring me, allowing me to compensate for the strong back light.

During the breeding season, the northern gannets (Morus bassanus), seen here on the German North Sea island of Heligoland, are highly dedicated to continuously transporting materials for their nest hollow. This is conveniently carried out using the bird's beak. The partner gratefully receives the materials in an elaborate greeting ceremony.

Mangrove Swallow gathers nesting materials in March near the shore of Crooked Tree Lagoon. Funny Story: this guy sat there and kept eyeing the bigger stick you see in front of him. He finally dropped the small pieces of grass and flew off with the bigger stick which was nearly two feet long! I'm sure the Mrs. was impressed.
Whether a champagne cork or a cork floor.
The cork oak provides the raw material, and in Portugal it has given us some shade in the midday hours.
Wupatki National Monument in Arizona. These structures were abandoned about 1200 A.D., so to me, it's amazing that so many structures in this area are still standing.
The crew of BIP 178 performs their last job of the day spotting a cut of tank cars for Asphalt Materials Inc. near Marietta, OH. Once done, they'll head west to Blue Knob Rd. where the afternoon crew will take over for the trip into Parkersburg's High Yard.
It looks as though this greater coucal (centropus sinensis) is about to peck its way into a large fruit. Not true!! The bird was actually gathering nesting material by pulling off individual leaf fibres. Photographed in Khao Lak, Phang Nga, Thailand.
Anhinga's are one of my favorite birds. Their behavior always entertains. From the way they fish, feed their young, land and greet their mate when arriving at the nest. Here's one taken under good light bringing some nesting material home from a nearby tree.
Many thanks for your visits, faves and comments. Cheers.
New Holland Honeyeater
Phylidonyris novaehollandiae
With long, slender beaks and a tongue which can protrude well beyond the end of their beaks, New Holland Honeyeaters are able to probe for nectar in the deep flowers of Banksias and Grevilleas.
Calls: The voice comprises a loud 'chik', a fainter 'pseet' and some chattering notes. If danger, such as a bird of prey approaches, a group of honeyeaters will join together and give a loud alarm call.
Minimum Size: 18cm
Maximum Size: 18cm
Average size: 18cm
Average weight: 20g
Breeding season: any time of year; mainly summer and winter
Clutch Size: 2 to 3
Incubation: 18 days
Nestling Period: 16 days
Description: The New Holland Honeyeater is mostly black and white, with a large yellow wing patch and yellow sides on the tail. It has a small white ear patch, a thin white whisker at the base of the bill and a white eye. This honeyeater is an active bird, and rarely sits still long enough to give an extended view. Sexes are similar in looks, but females are slightly smaller in size. Young birds are browner and have a grey eye.
Similar species: One very similar species is the White-cheeked Honeyeater,Phylidonyris nigra. This species has a single large white cheek patch and a dark eye. The two species frequently occur together.
Distribution: The New Holland Honeyeater's range extends throughout southern Australia, from about Brisbane, Queensland, to just north of Perth, Western Australia.
Habitat: The New Holland Honeyeater is common in heath, forests, woodland and gardens, mainly where grevilleas and banksias are found. It is inquisitive and approaches humans. It also mixes with other types of honeyeaters.
Feeding: New Holland Honeyeaters are active feeders. They mostly eat the nectar of flowers, and busily dart from flower to flower in search of this high-energy food. Other food items include fruit, insects and spiders. Birds may feed alone, but normally gather in quite large groups. Most feeding takes place in lower areas of bushes and thickets.
Breeding: The New Holland Honeyeater's cup-shaped nest is made of bark and grasses, bound together with spider web. It is lined with soft material and is placed in a bush or tree, anywhere from ground level up to 6 m. Both sexes feed the chicks. A pair of adults may raise two or three broods in a year.
