Looking Out on the realm

Northern Mockingbirds (Mimus polyglottos) are highly territorial. This one perches atop a small pine tree, surveying the landscape below, likely on the lookout for prey.

Step into a world where even the smallest moments—like the glint in a bird's eye—tell their own story.

"This image showcases the northern mockingbird perched gracefully atop a pine tree. Its grayish-brown feathers, contrasting with its pale underparts, are beautifully captured. Its signature long tail adds to its elegance, and the bird appears vigilant, gazing towards the right. The clear, serene sky in the background complements the natural setting, emphasizing the bird's distinctive features. The credit "© Swede's Photographs" in the bottom corner adds a touch of professionalism to this striking nature shot. It truly embodies the beauty of wildlife photography!" - Copilot


Australasian Grebe, Tachybaptus novaehollandiae, on a water treatment pond. #birds #birdwatching #nature #wildlife #australia

Silvereye, Zosterops lateralis, a common small insectivore of the Canberra region. Common or not, they're still beautiful - and I've even had the privilege of holding one in my hand - when it flew into a window and was stunned. I held its immaculate little presence in my hand, protecting it from harm (and pets) until it recovered sufficiently to fly off. Wonderful.

A couple of weeks ago I had a beautiful foggy morning to shoot waterfowl and I am very happy with the way this shot turned out! I hope you like it as much as I do.

Vertical format.  The water line is about 1/5 from the top.  On the water line is a lone silhouetted duck on the left and facing right.  There is a lot of fog on the water and above it is pitch black.  Below the duck is more fog blending into a reflection of the trees in the background with the golden glow of sunrise extending to the bottom.


Todays waddle was magic. It started slow and bit colder than expected, but then I spotted
My first bluethroat of the season. And this fellow was in a good singing mood, flying around. I sat down and waited, until he popped up in bush behind me singing. 😍

It was a great waddle.

This season has been tough for shooting waterfowl. Since November I have been plagued by boaters, kayakers, police, droughts, ice and mud like quicksand but didn’t give up. LOL. I got this shot of a Female Common Merganser on Tuesday and I really like it. I hope you do too!

Wide frame.  Female Common Merganser is swimming in the lower third from the right to left into the frame with its eye roughly halfway into the frame horizontally.  The background is glowing golden with gold bokeh balls.  There is a soft reflection on the water.  The merganser has a pinkish bill, bronze head, white neck and silver back.

I was down in Florida for a few days to escape the cold weather. There were so many burrowing owls there, but it's really difficult to get a clean shot due to buildings, cars, fences, etc... I do like the way this one turned out though.

El bec de corall (Estrilda astrild) és un petit ocell exòtic originari de l'Àfrica subsahariana. A Catalunya, com en altres parts d'Europa, s'ha introduït principalment a través del comerç d'aus ornamentals. La seva expansió requereix vigilància per evitar impactes negatius en la fauna local.

Meine liebsten Lebensformen und Lebensunformen,
gestern hab ich keine Fotos gemacht, hab einfach Wind, Sonne und mehr genossen. Heute wollte ich eigentlich Fotos vom Wiedehopf machen, es hat sich aber keiner gezeigt, so bin ich dann nochmal zu den Kuhreihern. Und da hat es mir besonders dieser Teenager angetan.
Er ist immer auf den Bürgersteig, wenn keiner gekommen ist und hat ein wenig dusselig geschaut und ist dann immer wieder schnell zurück auf die Wiese.

Tiere sind Freunde und kein Essen oder eine Plage.
Bleibt gesund, glücklich und verliebt.

Der schlimmste Seelenschmerz ist das Fernweh.

My favourite life forms and life non-forms,
I didn't take any photos yesterday, just enjoyed the wind, sun and more. Today I actually wanted to take photos of the hoopoe, but none showed up, so I went back to the cattle egrets. And I was particularly taken with this teenager.
He always came out onto the pavement when no one was around, looked a bit silly and then quickly returned to the meadow.

Animals are friends, not food or a nuisance.
Stay healthy, happy and in love.

The most terrible pain in the soul is wanderlust.

El pit-roig (Erithacus rubecula) és un ocell resident i hivernant a Catalunya. A l'hivern augmenta molt la seva presència perquè rep individus que venen del nord d'Europa fugint del fred. Es un dels ocells més matiners a cantar. El seu cant melòdic i dolç es pot sentir a trenc d’alba, fins i tot abans.

Meine lieben Lebensformen,
es waren wunderbare Abende bei den jungen Steinkauzen.
Es gab verschiedene Pfosten auf denen die jungen Steinkauze sitzen und auf Beute lauern konnten.
Ich hoffe ja, dass sie heuer auch wieder brüten.

Tiere sind Freunde und kein Essen oder eine Plage.
Bleibt gesund, glücklich und verliebt.

My dear life forms,
They were wonderful evenings with the young little owls.
There were various posts on which the young little owls could sit and wait for prey.
I hope that they will breed again this year.

Animals are friends, not food or a nuisance.
Stay healthy, happy and in love.

"Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes... Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared."

Diary of Anne Frank, Jan 13, 1943
(Description in ALT.)

A Cooper's hawk has snatched up a female bluebird from the feeders and is flying off with it. The bluebird is still alive and you can see its terrified expression as it is clutched in the hawk's talons.


I Told You We Should Have Left Earlier

This pair of house finches (Haemorhous mexicanus) appear to be interacting. It seems all the spots at the bird feeder might be taken.

"The image shows a lovely pair of house finches perched on a curved metal bar. One of the finches has brown and white streaked plumage, while the other has a striking red head and chest with a brown and white streaked body. The blurred background draws your attention directly to these beautiful birds, making them the focal point of the photo.

Feathered Sunshine

This charming male American goldfinch (Spinus tristis) made a visit to my backyard this morning, joining a lively group of others

"When Brown-headed Cowbirds lay eggs in an American Goldfinch nest, the cowbird egg may hatch but the nestling seldom survives longer than three days. The cowbird chick simply can’t survive on the all-seed diet that goldfinches feed their young." - allaboutbirds.org

"The image shows a goldfinch perched on a black metal shepherd's hook. The goldfinch has a bright yellow head and underparts, with a black cap on the top of its head. The wings are black with white markings, and the back is a mix of yellow and olive green. The bird's black beak is short and conical, typical of finches. The background is blurred, highlighting the bird as the main subject of the photograph. The image is signed "© Swede's Photographs" in the bottom right corner." - Copilot with edits


Hi Mastodon. I'm Mick, a wildlife guide based in Granada region of #Spain. I'm looking forward to connect with fellow birders, botanists & entomologists throughout the Fediverse.

Regularly out in the countryside of Andalucia & further afield posting info & images about my adventures & encounters with the natural world.

Here's a photo of a close encounter with Iberian Lynx I took a few years ago.

Sparrow and Blue Sky

This is a chipping sparrow (Spizella passerina) one of the species that I photograph the most.

I've had several inquiries about how to get a print of some my photographs. This is a hobby for me, so I haven't been equipped to handle those requests. But I enjoy what I'm doing and want to share my photographs.

So, I set up an account and website with pixels. My website is:

swede1952-photographs.pixels.com

If you want a print of one of my photographs, you can get it there, If I haven't loaded it, let me know which one it is, and I'll gladly load it there for you.

"The image shows a sparrow perched on a tree branch. The bird has a light brown and white plumage with a distinctive reddish-brown streak on its head. The background is a clear blue sky, and the branches of the tree are visible around the bird. The bird appears to be calmly resting on the branch, and the photograph captures the details of its feathers and the texture of the tree bark. The image is interesting because it highlights the natural beauty of the bird and its surroundings, showcasing a moment of tranquility in nature.

Landing Precision

Here is a photograph of a male house finch (Haemorhous mexicanus) just before he touches down on the top of a black metal shepherd's hook.

"The image shows a close-up of a male house finch. The bird has a distinctive red coloration on its head and chest, with brown and white streaks on its wings and body. The background is a blurred green, making the bird stand out prominently. The finch's conical beak is closed, and its toes and talons are visible, spread wide above a black metal object on which the bird is about to land on. The details capture the texture of the bird's feathers and the intensity of its gaze. The photograph is signed "© Swede's Photographs" in the bottom right corner." - Copilot with edits
