This pair of red-whiskered bulbuls (pycnonotus jocosus) took up temporary residence high in a tree, from which vantage point they harangued the local area as only bulbuls can. Photographed in Trou D'Eau Douce, Mauritius.

Morus bassanus

These two Great Egret chicks were waiting for a parent to bring them food as alligators swam beneath the nest, a constant danger if they were to fall out. These chicks were pretty big and didn't have to much further to wait until they fledged.

I was delighted to capture an image of this male and female Northern Cardinal perched together. It is interesting to see a side-by-side comparison of the plumage.

There are approximately between 32 - 50 breeding pairs in the UK. This pair were giving great views and were seemingly un-phased by the people and dogs walking by.

I think this is one of my favourite photos I've taken.

Sigo con los apareamientos de I. elegans y los distintos tonos de color que presentan tanto machos como hembras.

Los machos adultos se vuelven azules y los tonos del que vemos en la imagen lo son, pues el macho es adulto, no así la hembra, del grupo A, que es joven y cuando adulta se parecerá mucho al macho.

I continue with the matings of I. elegans and the different shades of color that both males and females present.

Adult males turn blue and the shades of the one we see in the image are, because the male is an adult, but not the female, from group A, which is young and when adult it will look a lot like the male.

In another photo is the sequnce of the pair's first encounter where they clasped their claws together.

After getting out of the water they rejoined despite the distraction of another Eagle flying by them very closely.
