I haven't seen the Nutmeg Mannikin (=Scaly-breasted Munia) for a while (several months probably). Today there was a mixed flock in the neighborhood: sub-adults in different stages of transition of the plumage to adult and adults (the last photo). Juveniles don't have the "scales".
Most of the time they were feeding on the ground, I just choose photos when they got scared and flush on the trees.

Today I had to make chaperone for a visiting friends - in Honolulu Zoo. Since they are with little kids I had no say when we should go there. Happen to be at noon: "beautiful light" for taking photos 
. On other hand - my first photos of juveniles Peacock (they have established populations on Oahu - wild and domestic types). I actually was exited with the background of some photos - grounded flowers of the Sausage tree (Kigelia africana). The birds used to drink water collected into the flowers.
After that (actually before that) I took some fast shots of the endemic Laysan duck - Anas laysanensis (no population on the main Hawaiian Islands, restricted to some small islets at the North-West Hawaiian chain).

A peacock familiy from my latest vacation to Rhodes.
200D, 18-55STM @55 and 44mm, as was trying to travel light.
Mother and fledglings:
Looking at the left fledgling one could think about "toddler" :
And the proud father:

When I saw that, I thought about something of "documenta fifteen" has been moved to a Rhodes beach
I have no idea what this "sculpture" had been before.

Posting after being absent for a couple of months.
A Franklin's gull is chasing a tiny bug and a Pelican with a bite much larger than its bill!
Both with R3 + RF100-500mm + 1.4TC.
