HB & apmadoc - nice photos!

TWI by Dustin Abbott - just to be more clear, your ducks look more like Ring-necked Duck (Aythya collaris) but I'm definitely not expert on ducks...

Here are some of my photos

Great shots Tudor!
Do they have so much space in the conservatory - it looks very natural...

Interesting! What country it is Cog? Egretta gularis gularis (the black form of this bird) is as far as I know a "citizen" of western Africa?
And BTW, one of the pictures of your kayak attracts my attention - it happen I know that alphabet(s) !

It's Qatar. This heron is also native to the Gulf, Iran, and India. And as a native Russian, I used the Cyrillic alphabet to paint the named of my kayak.

Thanks Cog!
Later I noticed between your photos the subspecies shistaceae - it looks to be more typical for your part of the world. Didn't know both subspecies are overlapping there but it's what happen when you get to this forum - you learn everyday - a lot !

I was never able to distinguish between those subspecies. They were only white and dark morphs to me. So I'm also learning a lot. Thanks!

Sometime you spot things where they are not supposed to be. I thought that the snowy owls were long gone, but as I paddled along, here he was!

Something a little more artsy than a typical bird portrait.

Junco in my chainlink fence.

Thoughts?

House sparrow...

Nice shots dpc - this last one (house sparrow) used to be abundant in my neighborhood but numbers have decreased and now I hardly see them anymore in my garden

Don, I don't think you were complaining Always nice to see such beautiful birds - and be able to capture them in an excellent picture

Nice one clbayley! Indeed, the environment can add context but also a nice "artsy" contrast... Well done!
(and they are quite some acrobats, being able to land into such a tight fence-'diamond' and balance themselves on the diagonal wires...)
