This Pacific golden plover has been probing the rain soaked ground for earthworms and insects. There is mud on its bill and head. But my favorite detail is the adorable eyelashes. (View large.)

Camouflaged for ground nesting, the Kolea (Pluvialis fulva) annually migrates from breeding grounds in Alaska and Siberia to tropical Pacific islands over thousands of miles of open ocean. After 3 to 4 days and nights of non-stop flying it arrives at the first landfall, Hawaii. A magnificent navigator, it uses the stars and the earth’s magnetic field to find the exact same location each year. This one winters in Hawaii. Some continue on into the southern hemisphere as far as New Zealand.

The sleeping Mud Maid was created by local artists Sue Hill and her brother, Pete. This, and their other mud sculpture The Giant's Head, were designed to enhance the woodland experience, following the fashion of Victorian ornamentation.

A mudder in horse racing is a horse that runs well on a muddy track. As we watched this young bison calf running full speed through the mud and water of French Creek in Custer State Park, South Dakota, I told my wife, "he's a mudder".

A solitary Indian rhinoceros (Rhinoceros unicornis) on an evening graze at Kaziranga National Park.

Listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, the eastern Indian state of Assam is said to have around 2400 rhinos - almost 2/3rds of world's population of the species.

Mating season for these giant mud creatures.

These are beautiful mud tiles left over time, nature’s flooring handiwork creating patterns and shapes all over.

One of the best place in town to find wildlife...:-)

Yesterday's Ipswich Griffin Wharf to Neasden sand train crosses the River Stour at Cattawade during low tide. Loco is 66152.

Sometimes standing up after a mud bath presents problems for little elephants. Keeping their feet under them on slippery ground is a learned art.

Conforme se retira la marea va dejando al descubierto una orilla llena de alimento, pero también cubierta del fango más fino.

As the tide recedes, it reveals a shore full of food, but also covered in the finest mud.
