and their little stinkybums.

Today one of the lil' stinkybums flew onto a flower pot. They'll be flying out into the dangerous world in a few days. Yesterday evening, opposite side of the garden, a kestrel caught a bird. Don't know what bird it was who had a nest under the roof gutter, the swifts are already on their way to Africa.

I'm reasonably sure this is a Chiffchaff, though it might be some other sort of warbler, and I was pleased to get such an action shot. (even if a bit obscured) Reading, UK.

Reading, UK - just feeding my addiction to photoing Buzzards and Kites.

Album

I have found some very cool woodpecker magnet gatcha toys at a place in Tokyo. Gatcha are vending machines you pay a few dollars to get a random item from a set, and they change constantly.

I kept going till I had all four woodpeckers (took 5 tries), there are:

• Acorn Woodpecker
• Okinawan Woodpecker
• Grey Headed Woodpecker
• Great Spotted Woodpecker

Now I just need to find the same ones in real life 😅

Netherlands, August

Stork and black headed gulls

Storks and grey heron

The reason why so many birds are here. The tractor is cutting away the plants on the sides of the sloot(waterway). This disturbs a lot of insects, fish, amphibians and other invertebrates . Creating a feeding frenzy.

Just rejoicing in a moderately sharp shadow , and a slightly wistful look - yes, sunlight in Reading, UK!

I'd guess an adult transitioning from breeding plumage.

I recently noticed a Finch that seems to be suffering from this, which really broke my heart. I looked it up and have taken down and washed the feeders. I'm posting to ask if chikadees can get this as well. I've looked all over but they mostly mention doves and so forth. Some of the chikadees still visit to see if the feeder is back, and I can't tell if one is just fat or if she's sick. I know I wouldn't be able to do anything, but I'd like to know if I should be looking at them as carriers as well.
