The yellow-necked spurfowl or yellow-necked francolin (Pternistis leucoscepus) is a species of bird in the family Phasianidae. This species is named for the yellow patch found on its neck. Males of this species have been noted to have spurs on the back of their legs.

It has been noted that this bird is most active at dawn and dusk. The bird is also noted to be very adaptable, it can continue to live in land after agriculture begins, it only leaves lands when heavy human occupation begins.

The call of a yellow-necked spurfowl is a series of scratchy descending upslurs, up to seven in a series. Male yellow-necked spurfowl often call while standing on top of mounds of earth or rock, often termite mounds.

 

This beautiful male Yellow-necked Spufowl was photographed singing to its mate sitting on a bush during a late evening game drive in Samburu National Reserve, Kenya.

Singing it heart out!

At the end of a warm spring day.

Gavicalis virescens. Sorting, culling, editing, even posting, has thoroughly got away from me. So for a while they're going to appear as I get to them, in any kind of order.

Somewhat of a redundancy in the title since at this time of year the Dickcissels are always singing.

A beautiful singing voice.

Northern Waterthrush is often an elusive species, keeping low among vegetation close to water, more often heard than seen. But in breeding season birds can be seen perched up high and in the open, energetically singing to advertise territory. Such was the case with this individual seen along the Flowing Water Trail in Bow Valley Provincial Park. That bird-rich protected area is in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies, west of the city of Calgary in the province of Alberta, Canada.

I captured this Australian Reed Warbler sitting trying to hide among the reeds - but he was too tempted by my imitating courtship calls and snuck out for a look and gave me a reply!

Have a terrific day and weekend everyone!

Thanks again for any comments, views or favorites -

While waiting for a shot of the comet, I got my first closeup glimpse of Baton Rouge's latest art installation. I can't believe that it's been there on the levee for 5 years, and this is the first time I've actually photographed it!

 

It is a Rotary Club gift to the city to celebrate Baton Rouge's 100th birthday.

And yes, they were loud!

The Marsh Frogs were in fine voice at RSPB Rainham marshes yesterday, and I was pleased to finally get a shot of those amazing vocal sacs in action!

A number of Birds are starting to join the chorus and signs of Spring are certainly in the air. One Winter stalwart that is being joined in song is the Robin, here is one from the garden singing out in the setting sun...

Delamere Forest, Cheshire

Listen to: Purple Rain

I never meant to cause you any sorrow

I never meant to cause you any pain

I only wanted to one time to see you laughing

I only wanted to see you

Laughing in the purple rain

Purple rain, purple rain

Purple rain, purple rain

Purple rain, purple rain

I only wanted to see you

Bathing in the purple rain

I never wanted to be your weekend lover

I only wanted to be some kind of friend (hey)

Baby, I could never steal you from another

It's such a shame our friendship had to end

Purple rain, purple rain

Purple rain, purple rain

Purple rain, purple rain

I only wanted to see you

Underneath the purple rain

Honey, I know, I know

I know times are changing

It's time we all reach out

For something new, that means you too

You say you want a leader

But you can't seem to make up your mind

I think you better close it

And let me guide you to the purple rain

Purple rain, purple rain

Purple rain, purple rain

If you know what I'm singing about up here

C'mon, raise your hand

Purple rain, purple rain

I only want to see you

Only want to see you

In the purple rain

 

An early start this morning to get to my secret spot on Dartmoor to photograph these beauties.There is a good population on Dartmoor and the Males are now holding their territories .

I wanted to capture an image of a singing male and was fortunate when this one started to sing just a few yards from me.

Photographed singing in the reedbed at RSPB Frampton Marsh {Lincolnshire, U.K.}.

 

Inspired by Argyro's story...

Η κόρη της Μελωδίας ~ Melody's daughter

During my visit to Slimbridge, I saw people of all ages connecting with each other and the birds. I only saw happy and friendly people...

I also saw Cygnus columbianus bewickii , The swan Columbiano thanks to Roger Wasley

 

Melody loved music so her friend the swan Columbiano together with all the other birds is beginning to sing Whispers In A Dream...

Whispers in a dream

The world is quiet and waiting

And all around the air is still

And sings the angels

When all is come to pass

The storm has breathed it's last

And the rain

Has washed our fears away

Love will find

Whispers in the wind

The clouds part to let the light in

And all around the people sigh

As birds take to the sky

When all is come to pass

The storm has breathed it's last

And the rain

Has washed our fears away

Love will fall on us all

The world will smile again

Whispers in a dream

The world is quiet and waiting

And all around the air is still

Then sings the angels

When all is come to pass

The storm has breathed it's last

And the rain

Has washed our fears away

Love will fall on us all

And we can smile again

It is to the Wrens as they sing their hearts out in the early spring. I have not since been as close to a singing wren as i was two years back when i took this shot.

She was so engrossed with her song i took several shots and as close as my lens would focus

Most likely the bird has a nest in the nearby bushes.

It came out to see who was passing by, and just as quickly disappeared into the bush again.
