Strike A Pose... Early evening. Hector The Great Blue Heron (Cousin of Henrik), in deep thought, enjoying a moment of reflection, as he prepares for his evening hunt. Incredible plumage. Very handsome.

Common Whitethroat, male, singing, Suffolk, UK.
These tiny birds migrate to the UK in the spring from sub-SaharanAfrica. Their distinctive scratchy song is usually delivered from the top of a bush.

Stillness
A serene state where everything seems to pause. It’s tranquil, calmness. The sense of peace, the clarity of a moment. The simplicity of just being. #landscape #nature #photography #countryside #garmish

The Hoopoes (Upupa epops) are back from Africa! Saw 4 on the weekend. We're lucky to have such a spectacular bird as a relatively common summer resident. #BirdingHungary #birds #birding #hoopoes

Caught this brown bear walking along a sandbar in a river before the sun hit the bottom of the valley. The cold morning air kept the mist on the surface for a while.

Rufous Treepie, Ranthambhore National Park, India
These lovely birds are common in the park. They are often found near a tiger kill. They are very tame and will take food from the hand.
