European Bee-eaters are passing through in good numbers now. This adult was one of 45 on my local patch. This small group stopped off to feed for a while and performed amazingly. #birds #birdphotography #birding #naturephotography #Alicante

Just another well fed Fire Tailed Myzornis. All that white on the orange throat is Rhododendron pollen. #indiaves @IndiAves

Perhaps the best mammal sighting of the Bale trip was not the Ethiopian wolf and the mountain Nyala as we expected to see them, but the serval which emerged from the grassland one wet afternoon. This lithe small cat of Africa was also out hunting and gave us very close looks!

I wasn't able to get a photo of yesterday's Osprey at Kenfig Pool, so here is one taken in Salalah, Oman in November 2024 where it was a lot sunnier and less windy...

Rufous Bellied Niltava, one of the most gorgeously photographable things in the jungles of Sikkim. Saw it sitting next to my car on the railings. The Indigo-Orange combo is a hoot. #IndiAves @IndiAves

Buff-banded Rail (Gallirallus philippensis) Common in Philippines/Australia. First recorded Borneo 2004 & Sabah 2007. Now widespread. Ones I have seen, over the years, all lack buff breast band. #Sarawak #Malaysia @Avibase @orientbirdclub @IndiAves @birdsoftheworld @Team_eBird

Whiskered Yuhina, also called the Moustached Yuhina, or the Burmese Yuhina, is found in the high elevation Himalayan forests. Almost non-existent at lower altitudes. Got close enough to allow a crisp, feather details kinda shot. #IndiAves @IndiAves
