Morning Sabine 🤩 LOVE this my friend! 🥰👍🏼
Finally I get around to posting a little something today & for starters I settled for a lovely Daisy Duck whose upper thoracic plumage reminds me a bit of a leopard’s spots

Seen from a slightly overhead angle, this hen is a study in nature's artistry. Her body plumage is a rich tapestry of warm amber, golden-brown, and deep chocolate tones, each individual feather edged with dark brown or black, creating a striking scalloped, almost leopard-like spotted effect across her breast and flanks. The upper thoracic feathers display dense, rounded dark markings set against a warm tawny ground colour that genuinely evokes a big cat's rosettes. Her back and wing coverts fan out and lift away from the body, revealing layered flight feathers with bold buff-and-dark striping, caught at just the right moment mid-ruffle, as she shakes and reseats her plumage in that characteristic full-body shimmy ducks perform to realign their feathers and trap fresh insulating air beneath them. The head is compact and neatly streaked, with buff cheeks, a darker crown, and a characteristic dark eye-stripe framing her bright amber eye. Her bill is dark-tipped and orange-tinged, characteristic of the hen. Most eye-catching are her vivid orange webbed feet, standing out boldly against the grey-brown gravel, warm, saturated, and glowing in the low-angle sunlight that also highlights every individual feather's fine detail. Her posture, rounded, feathers lifted and slightly dishevelled mid-ruffle, captures a perfectly ordinary yet deeply satisfying moment of duck self-care, the avian equivalent of a good stretch after a swim.

A small bird with yellow patches on the center of its forehead and sides of its breast, black patches around its eyes and on the inside of the yellow breast patches, a white throat and belly, and a bluish forehead and shoulders, perches on a thin branch facing the left of the frame, against a grayish brown background.
The butterbutt is back in the building. This bird is also known as the yellow-rumped warbler.

Saw an adorable squirrel perched on a fence 🐿 #squirrel #animals #animalphotography #spring #wildlife #animallover
Jill is settled deep into the nest, body rounded and low, bill tucked inward toward her breast, the compact, still posture of a bird that is not planning to move. She is not simply resting; she is covering something. Behind her, Jack has positioned himself at the water’s edge just beyond the reeds, neck curved downward toward her in a posture that reads less like relaxation and more like close attention. He is not facing outward to scan for threats, he is watching her. A quiet, private moment, even with a camera nearby.
Jack’s attention is turned inward as he preens, methodical, unhurried, entirely unbothered. Jill does not move. Neither of them acknowledges the camera. This is a pair well accustomed to people passing by, stopping, watching. The reed beds along this stretch have always drawn visitors, and Jack and Jill have simply factored them into the landscape, background noise, nothing more. The nest is solid, the eggs are covered, and whatever is happening on the bank is somebody else’s business.
New from the #swanwatch, maybe eggs finally? Details in the ALT text.

A small brown squirrel sitting in a tree branch. It is facing the camera and is eating a sprig from a pine tree, which it is holding in its hands. Its tail is curved up along its back.
The same squirrel, peeking around a tree. From this angle you can see the fur on its underside it's rust colored.
A third picture of the squirrel. This time it is in profile, standing on all fours. It is carrying the pine sprig in its mouth. Its tail is up.
I headed out to the forest today on a tip about being able to see a large number of newts in a shallow pond and ended up meeting this Douglas squirrel.

Es handelt sich um ein von mir erstelltes Farbfoto von unserem Kater. Er ist weiß, braun, golden getigert und hat sich zwischen zwei hellblaue Küssen gequetscht. Man sieht nur noch seinen Kopf und sein Schwänzchen.
Happy Caturday😻

Bonnie’s portrait is an extreme close-up that transforms a single eye into the center of the image. Her iris blazes in a complex mix of golden amber, chartreuse green, and teal, fine marble-like striations radiating outward from a sharply contracted vertical pupil, the hallmark of a cat fully alert in warm light. The gaze is angled just off the lens, quiet and watchful rather than confrontational, carrying a regal, self-contained stillness. Her dark tortoiseshell fur, lit from above with warm bronze and amber highlights, frames the eye, while the rich ochre yellow background amplifies the warmth of the scene and makes the cool teal tones in the iris glow with striking contrast.
Happy #caturday to all our feline friends and cat lovers!

German Shepherd dog grinning, showing her bottom teeth, eyes closed, relaxing in the garden trying to avoid the camera - can’t see me if I close my eyes!
The dogs deserve a #️⃣ but I couldn’t think of one!
