Interesting thing about the purple loosestrife--dig it out of the swamp or ditch and plant in a high & dry spot in your garden and watch it behave perfectly. I have had one in the same spot in my garden for 13 yrs and it hasn't moved hardly an inch. The goose necked loosestrife is entirely another matter!12Pawshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04127499889461887864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9113326581808647426.post-86171662766848884572016-09-12T18:07:31.189-03:002016-09-12T18:07:31.189-03:00impressive shots of the birs.

The Belted Kingfisher is different to the ones I see here, and just as lovely as the blue ones I'm used to seeing,.. the only difference is, you, managed to take a photo!!:)) I'm still trying!:) Breathtakinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03883608347810648676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9113326581808647426.post-73920133485233040842016-09-12T06:40:45.968-03:002016-09-12T06:40:45.968-03:00What a great set of pictures - I was working on so...What a great set of pictures - I was working on some Kingfisher images, which will pop up on Wednesday!<br /><br />Hope you can keep linking to WBW!<br /><br />Cheers - Stewart M - MelbourneStewart Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04622420206244603688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9113326581808647426.post-83543612404251265372016-09-12T04:23:28.530-03:002016-09-12T04:23:28.530-03:00That's a wonderful selection of species.

It seems like your Belted Kingfisher is as shy as our Common Kingfisher - "don't come too close" The Pied-billed Grebe is similar to our Little Grebe, with the same feeding habits as you describe.Phil Sladehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01846400106748443969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9113326581808647426.post-75160537093226717612016-09-12T03:43:29.591-03:002016-09-12T03:43:29.591-03:00What a wonderful series of photographs of the diff...What a wonderful series of photographs of the different species of birds<br />I feel really great Kingfisher, this species is not in the Netherlands, ours is blue in color.<br />Best regards, IrmaIrmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01743637769056732019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9113326581808647426.post-85384418371816226322016-09-11T21:05:19.268-03:002016-09-11T21:05:19.268-03:00Claire, your new lens is working well.

I have never seen a Belted Kingfisher so that would have been exciting for me. I never get tired of ducks, always a welcome sight as they never cease to make me smile. The blue background of the pond with the waterlilies is a fabulous backdrop and the reflections are wonderful. The 'bottoms up' pose when they are feeding is another smile bringer, they always look so comical. Don't believe I have seen an American Wigeon before either. I have seen the Cormorants but not sure which type they were, a lovely sight usually seen when on holiday. Sweet pic of the lesser yellow legs on the tuft of grass, and the Grebie and the Great Blue Heron would be another very welcome sight. A great time for birding on your walk, and thanks for taking us along :)DeniseinVAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08494518513936310345noreply@blogger.com
