Velvet scoter

Anseriformes

To take pictures of the velvet scoter I had to go for a winter cruise on the Baltic Sea. 8 –hours spent on a ship may be sufficient for bird watchers, but it was not proved to be sufficient for taking good pictures. Frankly speaking the weather was fine, the morning waving of the sea decreased from hour to hour. Unfortunately, almost for the whole day, with short breaks , fog accompanied us. This is how another bird gallery was created. One of a new species belonging to the Polish fauna but with a very modest content.

Velvet-fronted Nuthatch

Passerine

It is probably the most beautiful nuthatch species which I have ever managed to take a photo of. Like every nuthatch it was constantly moving and it was difficult to photograph. With its behavior and size it resembles our nuthatch (Sitta europaea) but its plumage makes it more charming I think – or maybe it’s only my impression of the encounter with this new and exotic for me species? Velvet-fronted nuthatches occur in India, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia and Indonesia.
