The buff-necked ibis (theristicus caudatus), also known as the white-throated ibis, is a fairly large ibis found widely in open habitats of eastern and northern South America.
Its diet consists mainly of insects, spiders, frogs, reptiles, snails, invertebrates and small mammals found in soft soils. The female usually lays two to four eggs in a platform nest, made from twigs and branches, in a tree.
The Pantanal is a tropical wetland and the world's largest wetland of any kind. The Pantanal ecosystem is also thought to be home to 1000 bird species, 400 fish species, 300 mammalian species, 480 reptile species and over 9000 different subspecies of invertebrates.

This is a pair of "Ring-necked Ducks". The male is behind, and shows the typical view of him. The thin, faint brownish ring coloration in his neck is seldom visible. But both the adult male and female show a strong "white ring" on their bills. I have often wondered why this species was not called "Ring-billed Ducks".
This pair was seen among a group of about twenty Ring-necked Ducks at Celery Fields, Saratoga County, Florida.
La Ceja, Colombia; 2.300 meters above sea level.
The streak-necked flycatcher (Mionectes striaticollis) is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae.

You know the snow is getting deep when you're neck deep in it! 😁

Red-necked Grebe's apparently starting a nesting project. I did not know that they will build a floating nest of rotting plant material, continuously adding material to it.

Very fortunate to see this rare bird closely - actively foraging along the shoreline.

This was my first opportunity to photograph a Stilt on dry land. They are appropriately named.

A last look at the Red-necked Phalaropes. They are on their way to their breeding gronds in Northern Canada and Alaska.

I was lucky to see the UK's only naturalised parrot - The Ring-necked parakeet, he was popping in and out of a whole in the tree. Apparently they became established in the wild in the 1970's after a captive birds escaped or were released.

Nice day at the pole farm yesterday. This is one of three pheasants seen taking a walk on the paths. All kinds of Harriers, young ones, adults and one young male, not gray yet.

I love the natural tessellated pavement at Eaglehawk Neck Tasmania, one of the best examples of this unique geology I've seen. This photo doesn't really do the size of it justice.
Eaglehawk Neck itself has an interesting history. It is a narrow isthmus that connects the Tasman Peninsula with the Forestier Peninsula and hence to the rest of Tasmania.
As Eaglehawk Neck forms a natural thin gateway between the peninsulas, it was used by the British as a place to stop convicts attempting to escape from Port Arthur and other penal institutions on the Tasman Peninsula. A system was developed where a line of dogs were chained to posts across the "Neck" to warn of any convicts attempting to escape. The Dog Line was first implemented in 1831 and was used until the closure of Port Arthur as a penal institution in the 1870s.
Many thanks for every fave and comment, I appreciate them all!
Have a great new week out there!
Ring-necked Duck
There have been numbers of them on the river for a couple of weeks. Generally they are so far out it is hard to get a shot or even make out what they are. I had the lens extended and cropped as well. Expect them to be gone any day.
An amazing experience watching this pair feed their chicks recently.
Taken at a public site at a distance so as not to disturb the birds or alter their behaviour.
A few more to come from this awesome experience!

TALLEST BIRD IN THE ISLAND
The Black-necked Stork (Ephippiorhynchus asiaticus), locally known as "Ali Manawa," is Sri Lanka's largest and rarest breeding stork, with a critically endangered population of fewer than 50 individuals. Standing up to 1.5 meters, they are primarily seen in pairs within southeastern coastal wetlands, especially Yala and Kumana National Parks. Wikipedia
Thank you so much for your kind words, faves and invitations to groups! I really appreciate each of them !!!
