This rock pipit flew up onto this rock a few times to drink from a little pool fed by the water running down the wall above it. Then it would be off again, searching under large stones or along the wildflower cliffs above

A little chaffinch, inspired by the beautiful photography of @Laszlo

Drawing of a chaffinch perched on top of a dead tree stump with Polychromos colouring pencils. Both bird and tree are composed entirely of triangles and coloured in hues of brown, grey, black, white, green and a rosé belly so that two adjacent areas are always in different shades and colours

    Excited to add a tiny lifer to my list today. Took about an hour of following this Alder Flycatcher’s freeBEER call to finally get eyes on it, a rare empid in our area.

    Three-photo collage of an Alder Flycatcher - small flycatcher, grayish-olive above, pale underneath, thin white eyering, dark wings with bold white wingbars. Left side: Perched on a tiny twig sticking out on a dead skrag, facing away from the camera with its head facing left, against a completely blue sky. Top right: Perched on the same twig facing right. Bottom right: facing away from the camera on a different slim branch with a few low clouds in the background.

    In my first (and possibly last) mini-thread offering health and lifestyle tips from nature, I present: Exercise with !

    First, try to touch your toes.

    Next, a bit of gentle leg stretching. That feels better already, doesn't it?

    A Little Egret (Egretta garzetta) standing on a branch, facing towards the right with its left leg stretched out towards the rear, and its left wing stretched downward; in the background the leaves of irises and rushes, and a couple of yellow iris (or Yellow Flag) flowers can be seen. The Little Egret is one of the smaller members of the heron family, and has a long bill, neck, and legs but a short tail. Its plumage is white with hints of yellow on the lower back, and there are plumes on the head with many more at the bottom of the chest and the lower back. Its eye is a pale colour with a black pupil and rim, is beak is black, with hints of blue on this one, especially at the base; an area from the beak up to and immediately around the eye is also blueish in colour. The legs are black, but the feet are yellow.

    And now, in the second part of Exercise With , let's try something trickier: touching your head with your foot. Without falling over.

    Finally... Oh. Maybe don't try this one at home. Especially if someone is standing behind you...

    A Little Egret (Egretta garzetta) standing on a branch, its body facing towards us and slightly to the left. Its wings are raised above its body, and the head and neck are outstretched and pointing downward towards the left; the beak is open; in the background the leaves of irises and rushes can be seen. The Little Egret is one of the smaller members of the heron family, and has a long bill, neck, and legs but a short tail. Its plumage is white with hints of yellow on the lower back, and there are plumes on the head with many more at the bottom of the chest and the lower back. Its eye is a pale colour with a black pupil and rim, is beak is black, with hints of blue on this one, especially at the base; an area from the beak up to and immediately around the eye is also blueish in colour. The legs are black, but the feet are yellow.

    I'd say it is a good chance this is a yellow warbler.

    OMG OMG

    Spotted a small bird on top of one of the yellow pipeline markers. Brain scrambles to both tell dad to stop before we scare it and trying frantically to ID it cause we are going to scare it.

    It spooks and lands just on the other side of the pipeline ditch.

    A BURROWING OWL!

    A small brown and tan owl perches amid a low growing bush. Its body is turned towards the right, showing the brown spotted wing and tan spotted chest. The round head is turned to face the left, bright yellow eye looking straight out over a small dark hooked beak.
