Cinnamon Teal (Anas cyanoptera)

It was a rainy old day today, so here is my magic bag.......

The Cinnamon teal (Anas cyanoptera) is a species of duck found in western North and South America. It is a small dabbling duck, with bright reddish plumage on the male and duller brown plumage on the female. It lives in marshes and ponds, and feeds mostly on plants.

Redshank [Tringa totanus]

Same bird, same place, and there is thunder and lightening, better get somewhere under cover.

Redhead [Aythya americana]

The Redhead is a diving duck, it comes from North America, but it has been seen on our local ponds, it is so pretty. We can't moan about it, or can we??????????????

And, more of the Starling chicks

Ok, I said I would not show them anymore, but, it looked so good, ohhhhhhhhh...........
