White Flame Rising
This is a striking image of a Great Egret (Ardea alba), captured in a pose that almost suggests surrender—as if the bird were saying, “Go ahead, take my picture.” But what appears to be resignation is, in truth, a fleeting moment frozen in time. The egret is not yielding—it’s gathering itself, preparing to rise. Wings lifted, body poised, it stands at the threshold between stillness and flight.

Rencontre très proche avec des hirondelles !
Edit : Comme je le suspectais, c'est bien une histoire de température (mais aussi de manque de nourriture), apparemment il y'a des populations très fatiguées et une mortalité importante notamment dans ma région. J'espère que les hirondelles de ce matin ont réussi à se reposer un tant soit peu. En tout cas elle sont réparties quand elles l'ont décidé, j'ai bien fait attention à ne pas les déranger.
La pluie et le froid ont dû surprendre les hirondelles à l'étang, elles sont venues se réfugier sur les rebord de fenêtre de l'observatoire, même celles ouvertes !
Résultats, je suis resté plus d'une heure à côté des pauvres petits oiseaux qui se tenaient chaud en se collant les uns aux autres.
Je n'avais pas bien chaud de mon côté mais c'était une observation assez incroyable.

It has lifted my spirits to learn that mother Superb Fairywrens sing to their eggs so that the babies hatch knowing the family song, that magpies sing quietly to themselves to practice and that some birds seem to dream of songs

I've photo'd 50 of the 147 species of #hummingbirds i've seen, today's picture, the Wire-crested Thorntail is truly one of the treasures...

Today is my tenth BIRDERVERSARY! I became a birder accidentally, by keeping a list of birds on a trip to Iceland "for my mom," who then pointed out it was a good start on a lifelist.
My co-protagonist @span yaypie says the precise moment of Birderfication was clearly when I painstakingly stalked a rock ptarmigan around the Skaftafell National Park campground with my little phone camera. Which makes it today! Thank you, birds of Iceland, for this hobby that brings me such joy and peace.
