Never saw one perched off the ground. The hunters were out in the fields. Think the birds know if they get to the gates, they are safe.

I saw this group of Ring-necked ducks at Commonwealth Lake yesterday. I had heard that some folks have seen a golden eye there; although I didn't see it, I was happy to see these!

My first migratory duck shot of the season - always exciting.

The storm water ponds and lakes in parks and neighborhoods here are the first to open up and provide a landing place for the early arriving migrating waterfowl giving them a place to rest and feed before the melt of the natural lakes in this area and farther north.

The Rose-ringed Parakeet Parakeets have now also reached my hometown. Last summer I saw (and heard) them for the first time in our neighborhood. This week they came by regularly,

There seem to be good numbers of Ring Ouzels around this year in the usual places around the Derbyshire edges. I took this image near Burbage earlier today.

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.
