Goldcrest - smallest bird in Europe

I really feel in love with black skimmers during the nesting season. Both the parents help raise the chicks and are equally attentive to their little ones. It was amazing to see how protective and nurturing they were.

Thanks for having a look! All faves and comments are highly appreciated!

You do me (and hopefully yourself) a big favour by pressing L and then F11, to view at maximum size.

We all hold some opinion on Australian White Ibis; Bin Chicken to many, it is also an amazing bird: beautiful when landing against the light, a trooper with tough surviving skills and, as I witnessed from a hide last Sunday, a caring parent. This chick was thoroughly cleaned by its mother, with special attention given to its backside. Pity - just like its human equivalent, it will not remember...

Happy Fox Friday. A mother red fox and her tiny kit. It looks like the mother was eating something and the kit was interested in what she had.

Just about sums it up. Fox family has been providing lots of entertainment and photo opportunities.

This poor papa fox kept trying to nap in the sun but the kits weren’t cooperating!

There are still 5/6 chicks, which is a testament to the dedicated parenting of the adults. It probably also helps that the family spend most of their time near the viewing hide - which will certainly deter Marsh Harriers, Herons and Bitterns. The biggest threat will be from a large Pike lurking in the depths.

This chick (the smallest) was the only one that the parents still tolerated on their backs.

Graspieper - Meadow Pipit (Anthus pratensis)

Slechtvalk - Peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus), always busy delivering prey for the chicks.

Disappointingly little action this year alas.

Also never very close;
