Wikipedia: The stump-tailed macaque (Macaca arctoides), also called the bear macaque, is a species of macaque native to South Asia and Southeast Asia. In India, it occurs south of the Brahmaputra River, in the northeastern part of the country. Its range in India extends from Assam and Meghalaya to eastern Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram and Tripura.
It is primarily frugivorous, but eats many types of vegetation, such as seeds, leaves and roots, but also hunts freshwater crabs, frogs, bird eggs and insects.
It is distributed from northeastern India and southern China into the northwest tip of West Malaysia on the Malay Peninsula. It is also found in Burma, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam. It is possibly extinct in Bangladesh. No global population estimate is available. In Cambodia, a declining population of 230 is reported from Keo Seima Wildlife Sanctuary.
Conservation status: Vulnerable
It was nice of this Hawk to turn the red tail where the sun hit it.
Luck sure does help with photography. :-)

This point of view shows why they are called sharp tailed !!!

The white-tailed eagle is the largest UK bird of prey. It has brown body plumage with a conspicuously pale head and neck which can be almost white in older birds, and the tail feathers of adults are white. In flight it has massive long, broad wings with 'fingered' ends. Its head protrudes and it has a short, wedge-shaped tail.
This Schedule 1 species went extinct in the UK during the early 20th century, due to illegal killing, and the present population is descended from reintroduced birds.
What they eat:
White-tailed eagles are versatile and opportunistic hunters and carrion feeders, sometimes pirating food from other birds and even otters. They eat largely fish, but also take various birds, rabbits and hares.
Some pairs kill many fulmars, which are thought to be the source of DDT and PCBs (chemicals) recorded in eagle eggs. Carrion is an important part of their diet, especially during the winter months. Most lambs are taken as carrion.
When fishing, they fly low over water, stop to hover for a moment and drop to snatch fish from the surface.
During the breeding season while they are rearing young, they require 500-600g of food per day. This drops to 200-300g per day during the winter months when the birds are less active.
Low tide on the River Alde near Snape in Suffolk, UK. An outstanding spot for wading birds. Here is a black-tailed godwit posing in the muck and early morning light.
My social distancing continues. One of my friends commented: "Mike, you've always maintained social distancing!" Maybe there's a bit of truth to that? On topic: My project to do a gallery of my trip to the Falklands continues. Here's one that I put a great deal of work in removing branches behind this Long-tailed Meadowlark as it dove off a brambly bush near one of the lodges in the Falklands.
Stay safe, we're making progress.

A rufous tailed hummingbird coming to some flowers. I was amazed at the different colors all the hummingbird displayed and how it would change in different light or if they were displaying. I have counted 18 different hummingbird species that I had seen on this trip.
The raspy cry of the Red-tailed Hawk is typically used in movies to represent any eagle or hawk anywhere in the world

Thank you for viewing
This long tailed duck took a big leap and jumped over another long tailed duck and land right back in the water. It looked more like a leap than taking flight, which was very interesting to me. If you look closely you can see the other duck in the water.

a peculiar ibis with a long tail that is patchly distributed in areas of northern South America east of the Andes.
It is not closely related to other better known ibis species of Latin America.
It has a remarkably loud call when perched or foraging and also calls loudly in flight.

Ein Taubenschwänzen in vollkommener Ruhestellung. Ich war echt überrascht wie es so aussieht.
Das Taubenschwänzchen (Macroglossum stellatarum), auch Taubenschwanz[1] oder Karpfenschwanz genannt, ist ein Schmetterling (Nachtfalter) aus der Familie der Schwärmer (Sphingidae). Sein deutscher Name leitet sich vom zweigeteilten Haarbüschel am Hinterleibsende ab, das eine gewisse Ähnlichkeit mit den Schwanzfedern von Tauben aufweist. Als Wanderfalter ist das Taubenschwänzchen in fast ganz Europa bekannt. Wegen seines auffälligen Flugverhaltens, das als Schwirrflug bezeichnet wird und das dem eines Kolibris ähnelt, wird es auch Kolibrischwärmer genannt. Zahlreiche vermeintliche Kolibrisichtungen in Europa gehen auf Beobachtungen an dieser Schmetterlingsart zurück.
The pigeon tail (Macroglossum stellatarum), also called pigeon tail [1] or carp tail, is a butterfly (moth) from the family of hawkers (Sphingidae). Its German name is derived from the two-part tuft of hair at the end of the abdomen, which has a certain resemblance to the tail feathers of pigeons. The pigeon tail is known as a migrant butterfly in almost all of Europe. It is also called a hummingbird warmer because of its noticeable flight behavior, which is known as hovering flight and which is similar to that of a hummingbird. Numerous alleged hummingbird sightings in Europe can be traced back to observations of this butterfly species.
The oldest known wild Red-tailed Hawk was at least 30 years, 8 months old when it was found in Michigan in 2011, the same state where it had been banded in 1981.

One of Benji's many names is "Tail Light" for obvious reasons. In the dark we see a white light bobbing along as he walks with his tail raised. Thanks to everyone for viewing, faving and commenting on my images. Stay well and safe.

Amazilia tzacatl
(Rufous-tailed Hummingbird / Amazilia de cola rufa)
The Rufous-tailed Hummingbird is a medium-sized hummingbird. It has a distinctly rufous-colored tail, from which its named is derived, and a bright pink bill. Like other hummingbirds, it feeds on nectar and small insects. It can be highly territorial over feeding areas.
The Rufous-tailed Hummingbird is perhaps the most common species of hummingbird at forest edge and in gardens and cultivated areas from southern Mexico south to northwestern South America.
