The start of my first holiday since 2019. An early arrival at Frampton Marsh RSPB in Lincolnshire not long after dawn. No-one else around and the wildlife really showy.
Couldn’t ask for better!
The Black-tailed Godwit spends the winter further south and most of the ones I’ve seen in the UK have been pale grey winter birds rather than the brick-red breeding plumage.
The vast majority of birds already on their migration south were tucked away in the middle of the reserve. This lone bird was feeding on a roadside stretch of water and was completely unconcerned as I went past on the footpath.

Guardo sempre con entusiasmo e ammirazione il volo degli uccelli, in formazione, diretti verso terre lontane, con la resilienza e la forza che solo gli animali possono avere...

Yesterday my friend Madonna told me she was walking at the edge of the village at sunset when waves of ducks passed overhead, silent except for the sound of their wings against the air. The waterfowl haven't begun their migration - they're the last birds to leave - but they are now staging on local lakes and wetlands in large flocks. I was reminded that this month provides my last chance to see a lot of species that I like to photograph, including the American Avocet, seen above.
Most shorebirds depart for their winter habitat sometime in August, but I have photographed the American Avocet here in Saskatchewan in early October. On an August day three years ago, I carried my tripod along the shore of a small, shallow lake, toward three or four dozen avocets, that were feeding at the other end, then sat down and waited. Sure enough, they gradually moved toward me. They were well aware of my presence, and must have decided that so long as I sat quietly, I was not a threat. By then, most of them had changed over into their non-breeding plumage, a somewhat more formal look that I've always liked. Singly and in small groups, they continued foraging as they passed me, first going left to right, and then reversing direction for a second pass. The still water created a perfect background. Voila!

La Paruline à croupion jaune est parmi les premières à marquer la migrations des passereaux forestiers.
Comme dans plusieurs coins du Québec, l'Étang Burbank de Danville a eu droit à son festival de parulines à la fin mai.
The Yellow-rumped Warbler is among the first to mark the migration of forest passerines.
As in many parts of Quebec, Burbank Pond in Danville was entitled to his warblers festival in late May.
One week later at the same location, and it appeared the bulk of the mini-migration was done, with only a few froglets still traversing the lawn on their way to the big pond. Many were found in amongst the reeds.
They hadn't grown much in a week. Most were still only 1 cm long, though they do appear to have filled out somewhat.
Prey species may be numerous at the pond, but so were the predators. I saw a Song Sparrow fly off with a froglet, legs splayed, in it's beak; no doubt being delivered to some chicks in a nearby nest. Also, the ubiquitous, introduced and invasive bullfrog resides here.
Thankfully the managers of this place do partake in a yearly cull of the bullfrogs in a never ending attempt to keep their population down.

At DeSoto National Wildlife Refuge near Missouri Valley Iowa. Estimated to be 500,000 to 700,000 birds. Incredibile sights and sounds when the geese took to flight.
This either juvenile or female Yellow-rumped warbler was also enjoying the backyard birdbath. Spring migration and warm weather here ... they all love the water features. Sorry, but you're going to have to endure a lot of these Spring birds with me!!! I practically home bound so when they come to my yard, WooHoo!

Even though this shot was taken just a few weeks ago, it was fall in Fairbanks with the aspens just a week or so away from full fall colors. I envy this young lad/lass as it travels south along the Pacific Flyway and what it will see!
Thanks to everyone for visits , comments , awards and invitations, I appreciate your feed-back very much
The sunrises recently have been spectacular here along the Front Range of Colorado. On this day, the sun slipped behind some clouds at the end of the main event and presented this amazing skyscape. The misty clouds heavily reduced the brightness of the sun allowing this image to be taken without a filter.
Image notes: I stood in this spot busy with Canada Geese migrants hoping for a large group to fly in front of the sun. Instead what I got were multiple sorties of smaller groups flying in front of the sun. I couldn't resist the temptation in post to composite those groups into the larger flock you see here. ;-)))
Every spring the Snow Geese move from their wintering grounds to their arctic nesting areas throughout the Midwest along with thousands of other waterfowl.
These little birds sure do pack a punch! this one was aggressively displaying defending their territory while I was doing a hike near the coast!
With the last three days of cold showery weather it brought down lots of migrating geese in our area. Sturgeon County Alberta
They are far fewer in number now...the migration has begun...still a few getting in that last bit of "fattening", then they will be gone, til next year!!
A large portion of this image was created in the Photoshop Beta Program with AI. The right 1/3 of the image was created with AI as were the migrating birds, about 50% of the sky, the compete sunset, So fun to do!!! Very interesting platform they are working on and it is all available for use commercially without fear of copyright infringement. All AI modifications are taken from Adobe Stock Photos.

Anfang Februar, so früh habe ich hier in der Westpfalz noch nie Kraniche gesehen.
At the beginning of February, I have never seen migrating cranes so early here in the Western Palatinate.
The original photo was taken on the shore of Lake Atalan in Guatemala. Photofox Surreal Skies was used to create this image.
