another of jans shots from last week ,a singing whitethroat

This Song Sparrow is out singing every morning at the local wetlands.

The reed bunting was singing enthusiastically..

Singing Honeyeater "is relatively common and is widespread right across Australia west of the Great Dividing Range, through to the west coast and on Western Australian coastal islands. It does not occur in other countries." (Wikipedia)

I do not come across this species very often and this is only my second capture of this bird published on Flickr. I had a few long sessions with the Singing Honeyeaters of Sorrento several weeks ago. This is the closest I could get to one of them: subject distance 2.99 m. I still wonder how I managed to focus my 500mm lense the head. I could not step back withouth falling off the slope...

We were pleasantly surprised to find a Singing Honeyeater (Gavicalis virescens) in the central park of Mitiamo, a small town near Terrick Terrick, central Victoria, Australia. The Honeyeater was constantly moving and calling to another nearby bird, but paused for a moment in the shade of a Eucalypt for this photo.

Well, maybe his breakfast.

The panasonic does not do well in low light. It was only 8:15, with no sun, and through double glazing, so softer than I would have liked.

My second favorite place in China after Jingpeng was Singing Sands. The railway was only a few years old when I first went in November 1999 as the railway skirted the edge of the Gobi Desert. A morning passenger train with a QJ heads south towards Dongcheng.

Lots of these birds here now singing

Arriving at a local park early before anyone else we were treated to the lovely singing of birds in the spring. This little Redstart kept on singing and let us get quite close to the fence he was sitting on.

A good motto for these days... I hope you keep on singing.

Happy Fence Friday

Mount of Olives, Jerusalem, Israel -- Some camera shake but I still like it.

This Eastern Meadowlark puts out a good song

The Song Sparrows were singing everywhere this morning. They know spring is here. Makes me happy!!

A little Black-and-white Warbler singing to attract a mate. Seeing quite a few of these neotropicals, but no vireos, tanagers or buntings yet. They should be here soon. Our beautiful world, pass it on.

Burnley, Lancashire

The Singing Ringing Tree is a wind powered sound sculpture resembling a tree set in the landscape of the Pennine hill range overlooking Burnley, in Lancashire, England.

Completed in 2006, it is part of the series of four sculptures within the Panopticons arts and regeneration project created by the East Lancashire Environmental Arts Network (ELEAN). The project was set up to erect a series of 21st-century landmarks, or Panopticons (structures providing a comprehensive view), across East Lancashire as symbols of the renaissance of the area.

Gavicalis versicolor. WTP. Laid up for three weeks.... finally a couple of days escape to the spiritual home....and no wind. I saw one of these on the other side of the river a while back, but the light was better yesterday.

Up early today for a 5k.. Are you all still asleep out there ?

WAKE UP already cos it's another BOO HOO BLUE MONDAY'S at Pinkalicious.....

Lovely sunday morning, Blue Sky, Singing ringing tree and Pendle Hill....

Blue tits (Latin name: Parus caeruleus) are a species in the order of songbirds, and like all singing birds, the male tits sing a song to defend their territory and to attract a mate..

Probably not but it's nice to anthropomorphise sometimes :-)

This little beauty was belting out a tune in the garden next door to mine. It was initially on one of the highest stems and a little out of range but after about 5 minutes it dropped to this lower branch where I could get a better shot in the fading light.

Thanks for visiting my work.
