Eurasian wren, (Troglodytes troglodytes), perched on a leaf. I don't know if it's flowing along with the water but I like to think so. It is one of the smallest birds in Europe, but in my opinion also one of the loudest.

Why does it's scientific name say it lives underground? Do they roost in caves or burrows or something?

I did not take this, but on a walk at a nature preserve this weekend I saw this bird for the first time and it was beautiful.


Tree Swallow

Also Blue Jays are lucky they are as beautifully colored as they are because they are one of the most obnoxious sounding birds, they are awful.

Rainbow Lorikeets are the same. Stunning plumage. Incessant loud screeching. Also huge dicks to other birds.

 Not a great shot but trying my new phone.



Straw Necked Ibis

Common elsewhere but I'm apparently on the edge of their range so I rarely see em and think the iridescence is nice.
