Happy Memorial Day everyone, and hope a good one for everyone.
I was looking at some of the images of the Meadowlark's and really liked this one, and thought the look was as unusual as can be, so here it is, and hope you all like it as much as I did.
Thank you as always for visiting.
SUMMER VISITOR, to the region, observation tips, visit almost any large reedbed in southern England, and you should hear a sharp tche call, and if your very lucky they occasionally clamber up the reed stems to sing. .............
Am short of images to show at the moment, so am afraid the quality is coming down, must try harder!...............

THANK YOU for your visit and support, love reading your comments, and will return the visit very soon, Good to have you as friends, God bless and stay safe..............Tomx.
INCESSANT TRILLING, and fluty song generally delivered in flight, a joy to see and hear. Invariably associated with grassy habitats, from meadows, moors and heaths to arable farmland. The species has declined alarmingly in many parts.

Good Friday morning everyone, and hope you all have a great day and weekend, and get out and shoot.
This image I killed folks, he did not stop posing and I did not stop shooting, but will end this series tomorrow.
Thank s for visiting, and always very much appreciated.
Had great lunch Yesterday watching the butterflies from the window, so much traffic with all the insects, also time for the Goldfinches to gather Sunflower seeds.
Have a nice weekend.
The sea was very rough the day we were there, so the boat we sat in when I made the shot was moving a lot all the time -- and we couldn't go close up to the island. With some element of luck, this shot is reasonable sharp in any case -- even if the bird was some 15-20 meters away from me.
This is the first picture in my group 'Nature Calls'.
Join the group, post a picture of how nature is coming back.
CHARMING well-marked little finch, seen only in our area a few times during the winter, when alder trees are leafless, and the seed heads are up for grabs. Seeing then up high in the trees twittering to each other, is a real joy, but a real photography challenge, as they move so fast. and their heads are always buried in the seed heads! . When the seeds are gone so are the Siskins. The males have a black head like above, and absent in females, seen in the Alder wood at Stodmarsh, Kent, U.K. Not the best image, but the best I could do, and not sure if I will see them again this year.

Good morning folks, I wanted to say that there are 30 more images of the Snake & Egret and so many interesting one's at that, but will see how things go and may put one or 2 more up.
Here we have a Little Blue preening which always makes a nice image, especially with the crest up, thank you all very much for the visit, and have a wonderful day.
ELEGANT DABBLING DUCK, the adult male see here, has a chocolate-brown head and nape, with the white breast extending as a stripe up the side of the head. The plumage is otherwise grey and finely marked, but note the cream and black stern, and that long pointed tail that is often held at an angle. One of my very favourite ducks, its lifting its head and neck high, and about to bid a hasty retreat, on seeing me, and who could blame it...........
BEST viewed large, the duck not me...........lol.
++++++++++++++++++++ THANK YOU for your time and support, love reading your kind comments The weekend is almost upon us, hope you all have a wonderful time, God bless, happy snapping but stay safe...
...........Tomx.
I'm posting this because I for one has never seen this behavior with this species. They are usually at waters edge, in or very near the water, just a recorded image.
Have a great day, and thank you for stopping by.
Reflections in the wetlands
I've made a photowalk in the wetlands called the Carnisse grienden in dutch. A nature resort full of strange shaped trees , mainly willows (or knotwilgen in dutch) , which make such cool reflections during the winter days. In the summer season the wetlands are so green and full , it almost looks like a jungle , so I hope to visit it once more in that season.
