New and old

In the pond a lone gadwall and a mallard pair


Not much wildlife over here anymore so I started to search my tavelling days for them 
This is a butterfly from Costa Rica


An osprey!  This one obviously tells a story and I remeber it well. 
I took this image 110812. I was quite new at birding at the time. It is from a location close to my town. I was at a pond, hiding beside a ditch and high reed. Over looking the lake ready with the camera. Then a huge noice scared me and I saw this huge bird right over my face. Instinctly I aimed the camera and actually got a shot. This was the only one as I fell on my back in the process. 
Half a bird, BUT I GOT IT!

    You will ba able to name this one "The Flat-bellied Osprey". Maybe it's a new and rare species!

    Great that you photographed the osprey.
    That you fell on your back is less fun.
    Greetings Irma
