The Spot-bellied Eagle-Owl (Ketupa nipalensis) also known as the forest eagle-owl is an immense and imposing owl of dense wet lowland and hill forests of the Indian Subcontinent and Southeast Asia. The Silver-gray adult is majestic, with a large yellow bill, black eyes, and sweeping sidewards-facing “horns.” The juvenile, pictured here, is much paler, almost white, with shorter tufts. It gives deep echoing hoots. It is primarily nocturnal, but will on occasion hunt by day; takes prey as large as small deer.

A tiny and unbelievably cute kingfisher: a luminous ball of pink, orange, yellow, and varying amounts of blue and purple. A brightly-coloured back distinguishes this species from the closely related Black-backed Dwarf-Kingfisher. It forages in shaded patches of dense vegetation, in mangroves, overgrown edge, or deep lowland and foothill forest. It is often near shallow forest streams and small pools.

The Blue-eared Kingfisher is a diminutive dark blue kingfisher with no rufous on the ear-patch. It has an orange spot in front of the eye, white ear tufts on the sides of the neck, and an ultramarine-blue head and neck with darker blue bands giving it a scaly appearance. The upper parts are a glossy dark blue with paler blue central band down the back to the rump. A white chin and throat with deep orange underparts. The males have black bill with brownish-red base, while the females have almost entirely red bill. The juveniles also have dark blue upper parts, but rufous cheeks and ear-coverts similar to the Common Kingfisher. They inhabit well-shaded waterways in forested areas.

This is a large resident raptor of lowland & montane broad leaf and mixed forests, well-known for their tendency to congregate in large flocks of up to thousands during migration. They have an unusually small and slender head, a long striped tail, broad wings, and well-striped underwings which make them easily recognisable and they also show considerable plumage variation throughout their range. True to their name, this species is a raider of wasp and bee nests, although it prefers their larvae over their honey.

The Old World Babblers are a family of passerine birds diverse in size and coloration, characterised by soft fluffy plumage. These are birds of tropical areas, with the greatest variety in Southeast Asia and the Indian subcontinent. This group is among those Old World bird families with the highest number of species still being discovered. Featured here is the Rusty-cheeked Scimitar Babbler from Doi Luang in Chiang Mai.
A large brown babbler of scrubby edges, second growth, and open forest in hilly and montane regions. Seen in groups of up to a dozen during the non-breeding season, but pairs off in the spring and summer. Gray-brown from the crown down to the tail, ochre-coloured on the face and flanks, and white on the throat, breast, and belly. Lacks any strong streaking or spotting. Like other scimitar-babblers, frequently duets, giving clear, gulping phrases, often with a liquid quality. Also gives harsh, aggressive chattering typical of the genus.

......... Tulpe.
Es sind Wildtulpen, gefunden auf der Reise durch Norge.........und es war ein recht großer Bestand dort.
Ich habe mich gefreut wie ein Schneekönig, denn die Wildart dürfte man nicht so oft zu Gesicht bekommen.
Für mich etwas ganz besonderes.......Tulpen in freier Natur.
White-naped Woodpecker/ Black-shouldered Woodpecker
An uncommon, four-toed, large-billed, golden-backed woodpecker endemic to the Indian Subcontinent. It inhabits open wooded habitat all over its range, but is often difficult to find. Separated from the group of “small-billed” flamebacks by its much larger bill, a conspicuous white nape with a contrasting black border, and a divided black horizontal stripe below the cheek. Separated from the similarly large-billed Greater Flameback by its black rump, clean white nape, and preference for drier habitat.

The creative collaboration of "Psychedelic Fire" 🔥 was created with acrylics on 30x40" canvas in 2016. It originally was the "Burning Man" painting I created & then let people go at it. I added my final touches at the end. It's a fiery expression of love & passion in this organic ooze of ideas filled with much nature 🌵 as well as a demonic looking figure overlooking the landscape at the top right.

Orange-headed Thrush
Another week of exploring deep within the Ananthagiri Forest Range and this time it is the beautiful Orange-headed Thrush. It is a brightly coloured ground-dwelling bird of the thrush family with an unmistakably bright orange head, breast, and belly. Some subspecies have two broad black crescents on the sides of the face and they are often seen hopping about foraging in the leaf litter in forested areas, often in wet gullies and ravines. They have a beautiful song composed of well-spaced strophes of warbling and buzzy notes.
This specimen seemed to be having what felt like an entire conversation with the others of its kind around me. You can see it give out a call and at the response literally cock its head to listen and then respond. An absolutely amazing experience.

The Hill-blue Flycatcher is a rather unobtrusive, colourful insectivorous inhabitant of shady undergrowth in evergreen forest of hilly regions. A medium-sized and confusing flycatcher. The male is beautifully coloured, with deep blue upper parts, an orange throat & breast, and a white belly. The female is duller and very similar to and closely-related to the Large Blue Flycatcher. It breeds in hilly & montane broadleaf thickets, often in areas with dense undergrowth and migrates to lower altitudes in winter. Their calls are a loud “chak” or “tak,” reminiscent of stones tapping.

Die Alpenveilchen (Cyclamen)
Die Alpenveilchen verkörpern mit ihren leuchtenden Blüten ländliche Alm-Romantik. Doch auch wenn Name und Erscheinung Gegenteiliges vermuten lassen, stammt die Pflanze ursprünglich nicht aus den Alpen. Die 22 Wildarten des Alpenveilchens sind im Mittelmeergebiet zuhause.

These colors just told me "sunset", so I created a color gradation on the outside. When my BF saw it, he thought the gradation wasn't perfect enough and suggested to decorate the cake. So I just added a few flowers, giving it a tropical island feel :D

Slaty-backed Gull
The slaty-backed gull is a large, white-headed, thickset, short-winged, pot-bellied gull that breeds on the north-eastern coast of the Palearctic, but travels widely during non-breeding seasons. It is similar in appearance to the western gull and the glaucous-winged gull. Often looks rather frosty by the first winter; starts to develop a gray back and whitish eye in its second year. Primarily an Asian species, found in coastal regions from Japan and South Korea to Russia. Regularly occurs in western Alaska, but very rare elsewhere in North America.

A medium-sized ibis with a dark body, often showing a bluish-green sheen. The crown and nape are covered in bright red warts. A white patch is usually visible near the shoulder of the wing. The bill is long and downcurved. This species can be confused with the similar-looking Glossy Ibis, but Glossy Ibis is smaller and lacks the red warts and white shoulder patch. In flight, the legs of Red-naped Ibis don’t extend beyond the tail, unlike in Glossy Ibis. Unlike most other ibis, Red-naped favors drier habitats, such as rye fields. It is usually found singly or in loose groups.

The Lesser Necklaced Laughingthrush is a mid-sized laughingthrush, usually seen foraging on the ground and in shrubbery of hilly forests. It is brown overall, with rusty highlights on the neck and flanks, and with prominent black markings on the white breast and face. It looks similar to the slightly larger Greater Necklaced Laughingthrush, with which it often associates in mixed flocks; Lesser differs in being duller rusty overall, having a complete (rather than partial) breast band, and having minimal streaking on the cheeks. Classic laughingthrush repertoire, with a beautiful fluty, melodic song and hooting calls.
