I can only name him: Grumpy sod
Well I would have to look up the majority of the birds you have shown below ( I will comment on each one in turn… speaking of which, this first one is a Tern species,possibly a Caspian Tern?
This is an Eagle…maybe a Martial Eagle. It’s certainly not a British species (We have the Golden and White Tailed Eagles as our native species over here).
Now this little guy, no I am not sure of the species of owl. Gorgeous little thing though.
I suspect these are either ‘Little’ Owls or Burrowing Owls but i am not certain.
In the next picture, these are juveniles (well the 3 on the right) and look a bit more like our own ‘Little’ Owl species.
The following pictures contain seabirds (species not certain), a Heron species (species not certain… might be a Purple Heron or a Squacco Heron but I can’t remember). Then we have a female (or possibly juvenile) and male (as shown in order) Ring Necked Parakeet.
After that, those young mystery owls are back, followed by mostly adult male Cardinals. There do seem to be a few females amongst them.
I surely wouldn’t know, so I had Google Lens look them up for me.
- Royal Tern – The Greatest Fisherman
- Pied Starling
- Baby Hawk Owl
- Burrowing Owl, also known as the Howdy owl
- Some sources said Borrowing Owl, other sources said Little Owls. I’m going to go with Little Owls based on their markings and coloring, but you choose.
- Black Skimmer
- Reddish Egret
- Vastu Compliant Green Parrot
- Again, some sources said Borrowing Owl chicks, other sources said Little Owls. Burrowing Owls seem more reddish brown than Little Owls, so I’ll let you choose.
- And, as you said, these are Cardinals.
I am not claiming to have got all those bird’s identities correct but not sure I have complete faith in what Google Lens has told you.
I still like Grumpy sod for number two better
Beautiful colours on the bird!
That’s remarkable and actually quite beautiful. I wonder if there is a video anywhere, of the start where the cow approaches…
I find that really interesting.
I know of another situation where sharks (of all the unimaginable creatures to do such a thing with) can be made to go into a relaxed state if you can hold onto them and literally position them upside down. It’s known as ‘torpor’ where the animal becomes totally inactive.
One would have to rely on the shark approaching to be able to acheive that though, of course. Probably not something most people would want to do with your average ‘Great White’ but It does seem possible with smaller species.
