I had the pleasure to photograph Australian wood ducks in urban parks as well as in the bush, on little ponds. They are present in almost every part of Australia. A characteristic feature for these ducks is their sexual dimorphism. The head of a male has a brown coloring. Observing females of the Australian wood duck you can spot that they bear some resemblance to the females of the Mandarin Duck or the Carolina Duck.

Finally the last species of the tit among those which are considered representatives of our fauna, gets into my gallery. We looked for the tit in many places in Mongolia – in vain. It likes shrubbery and water, and it is very difficult to find such conditions in Mongolia. Only near Ulan Bator, in a bend of a river covered with shrubs we found many azure tits. So many pictures were taken that I had plenty to choose from. I also managed to record the azure tit’s sound. Well, I have definitely a reason for satisfaction.

In the area where I was photographing blue jays were common. It was no problem to take pictures and record their voices. And that they belong to lovely birds and for me it is a new species, and interesting pictures have been created - a gallery must be set up. Just like our jays are attacking white-tailed eagles, blue jays tormented Iberian eagles persistently with their raids. They always appeared in small flocks, especially at a small waterhole, where perhaps a dozen of them or so arrived at once.
