We had a heavy rainstorm today. One of our local Painted Buntings decided to take a bath. A real bathing beauty ! I had to take the photo through glass, so not as sharp as it could have been. #birds#bunting#nature#birdphotography#florida
Indigo bunting (Passerina cyanea), native to North America. They are not generally the first to feeders, but to attract them, Buntings favor tiny seeds like white proso millet, nyjer (also known as thistle seed), and sunflower hearts or chips. Regular sunflower seeds might be too large for their delicate bills. #birds#bunting#nature#ecology#wildlife#NotMyPersonalPhoto#photography#conservation
Some photos from my short hike on Monday morning in Kavala. Very nice weather, lots of small animals and flowers. Was definitely worth it.
Featuring: a honeybee full of pollen diving inside a prickly pear cactus flower, a panoramic view of Kavala from above with the island Thassos in the background, a cirl bunting sitting in a tree and a Greek tortoise in the middle of the path that was unfortunately afraid of my steps.
