Zitting Cisticola (Cisticola juncidis) by Paolo Dolina, on Flickr

Very small, with a distinctive short, rounded tail with conspicuous spots at the tip. Body sandy-colored below, streaky above. Breeding males have a dark bill and crown. Found in open grasslands, meadows, marshes, and agricultural areas. Most readily detected by its repetitive and monotonous song, given from either a perch or in an undulating song flight. Song varies across wide distribution, ranging from evenly-paced squeaky “tsik, tsik” of African and European birds to the fast dry ticking of Southeast Asian birds.

Thanks for the info Paolo, we have these birds in northern Australia too and I had no idea they were so widespread around the world.

This site travels fast, miles behind
A lot of beautifully presented birds passing through.

Mike this is so beautiful
The light, colours and overall composition pool together to make a very pleasing image.

Lovely pose and composition.
A very attractive bird in a beautiful setting.
That would look very nice on a wall or in a book

Barn owl

Vassilis this is so nice.
You've certainly captured the beauty of it in excellent light and I imagine for the owl a very natural setting.

I took a walk in the local Game Lands and as soon as I parked the car, one of these was walking by the roadway.
I know it's not a Wood Duck, but it will have to do. I checked the pond but there was no action.

Can someone give me an I.D. on this one? Sogs says Phoebe. So it is written, so it shall be.

Beautiful shot Bill, would love to get an opportunity to photography these one day.

Jose, thanks. If you ever make a late spring/summer trip to Texas, let me know and I'll tell you where to see them.

Thanks so much for the generous comments Richard, I'm certainly taking advantage of this young one whilst it's still here! cheers!
