A common resident Owlet found in the forest areas in the country. They can be often heard in the forests calling especially mornings and evenings, but they are active throughout the day. The birds are quite predatory in the night and hence the calls attract a variety of birds that gang up and chase the owlets away.

 

That morning, we heard constant calls of these Owlets - 3 - 4 of them at the same time and sighted 2 of them. That brought out Bulbuls, babblers, Drongoes, Rose Ringed Parakeets and few other birds all of which searched for the Owlets and chased them away from several trees. The Owlets moved several times and sat quietly in some trees - often close to us, but they did it with such stealth that 3 of us didn't see them coming or going.

 

This is nearing end of Spring here, but there were still several bare trees that the owlets could find some space on. The trees with canopy and fruit support several nesting birds and the summer breeding season is starting - no wonder the Owlets are so unwelcome.

 

Thank you so much in advance for your views, feedback and faves.

A small and shy resident goose of the Indian subcontinent, found throughout the year in freshwater lakes and ponds. They are social birds and always seen in groups of 4 to 6 or more.

 

The birds are visibly smaller than the other ducks such as Whistling teals and the Spot Billed Ducks found in our region. I love to shoot them in flight, but they fly fast and are quite wary of humans.

 

Shot them near a lake full of Jacana's and Coots. These goose stayed for a while and then flew away far from human activity..

 

Many thanks for all your views, likes and feedback. Much appreciated.

Hara recently invited me to join her, Aaron and Will for a photoshoot. Naturally, I had to accept the invite and I was incredibly happy I did. It was a blast! [read more...]

Pittville Park's resident male kingfisher enjoying some winter sunshine.

Lewis's Woodpeckers congregate in Buena Vista for the breeding season. Looks like a woodpecker but forages like a flycatcher,

These are resident waders found throughout the year around large lakes, shallow rivers, wetland areas and water logged paddy fields. End of Summer is the nesting time for these waders / reed birds and they contine to nest till the end of rainy season.

 

The swamphens nest in the reeds and I observed that the colors get more vivid around that time. There was a huge bed of reeds and there were around 15-20 of them sighted in it - I thought many were pairs and they are starting their nests around that time. The birds don't move far away from their nests and prefer to hunt for insects, beetles etc.. around the vicinity.

 

During this period, these birds turn predators and they attack the chicks of Jacanas, snipes and eat them. All these birds share the same habitat and hence become easy prey for these Swamphens and other birds like Black Kites.

Porte principale - Avignon (84)

À la fois forteresse et palais, elle fut pendant le XIVe siècle le siège de la chrétienté d'Occident.

Sa taille imposante et son adossement contre le rocher lui permettent à la fois de dominer la ville et d'être vu de très loin.

Elle est classé Monument Historique depuis 1840. Depuis 1995, il est classé avec le centre historique de la ville au Patrimoine Mondial de l'UNESCO.

Qu'est-ce qu'un Alençonnais sinon quelqu'un résidant à Alençon ?

 

Gageons cependant que le petit chien ici accablé par la chaleur du jour a la chance d'avoir un brave maître (qui l'a pris dans ses bras devant son désespoir climatique canin), et non un valet de la maléfique entreprise Umbrella Corporation de Resident Evil...

J'avoue ne pas être pressé de voir des zombies en ville.

Ou dans une zombie walk à la rigueur... :-))

Northern resident orcas (A43s, A5 pod), Johnstone strait, BC, Canada.

A large resident owl usually found around rocky places, ledges and rock quarries. These birds prefer these habitats and are often found sitting quietly on one of the ledges or on a tree nearby. The bird - around 50 - 60 cms is one of the larger owls in the country.

 

Just like other large owls, they are usually found in pairs. But this one was alone in a quarry. And there were dozen's of swallows that were quite unhappy with the Owl and were constantly dive bombing on it. The owl didn't care since they are no danger to it. Several rounds of dive bombing made no difference to the Owl who tracked it a few times, but ignored it entirely - as if saying "You can't touch me".

 

I suspect that the Owl was making a meal of these Swallows every night since the ledges where the Swallows perch and nest had a lot of white markings indicating Owl droppings.
