My feathered friend SMAP Contest Entry - The Tail

avatar
(Edited)

This my entry in the Show Me a Photo Contest round 38. It is funny and strange when @nelinoeva threw out this challenge I started to see tails everywhere, they just seem to materialise out of nowhere. Obviously I had turned on my tail eyes!

I initially chose the ordinary scrub turkeys as they have large fan like tails. They are busy birds that like to walk a lot, over the roads, on the paths and in the bush areas to dig for food. Luckily the scrub turkeys are are out and about when I am walking.

My first photo was a stare off with this most magnificent somewhat indignant young scrub turkey. My fault was edging a little too close to get a good close up photo.

On this particular day I happen to be on the outside of the fence when I spotted the tail of another very busy scrub turkey on the move. It was far too busy to give me the time of day. Anyway I was only after the tail!

For my ending to this fun #featheredfriend post are 2 photos that I snapped yesterday morning, of the black beaked bird that visits this shrub in my garden regularly. I apologise I cannot find its name despite looking everywhere.

Maybe someone who knows more about birds than I do may know.

I really love this last shot so I am making it my entry photo in Show Me a Photo Contest - Round 38.

But, I did have fun taking photos of the scrub turkeys.

Regards to you all, have a happy day.

ooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooo

Many thanks to the lovely @melinda010100 for bringing us #featheredfriends and a big thank you to @nelinoeva for all your organising and to @oks2cryptp for judging all the fabulous entries.

I am glad you had fun when snapping the photos. 😀
I am afraid I don't know what kind of bird is this one. But it is a very good choice to show something different.
Have a great weekend @angiemitchell! 💕

I love weekends @nelinoeva, the feeling of 2 days of freedom from the confines of working hours has always been heavenly. The feeling never leaves even when out of the workforce.
Maybe one day I will find out the name of this cute little bird. But in the meantime I will keep enjoying them when they drop by.
Happy weekend @nelinoeva, it goes far too quickly.😘

Oh, I love the weekeds very much. My job is pretty stressful and days go by fast, but weekend is the best time of the week.

I always particularly enjoy a wine on Friday night knowing that there are 2 free days and nights to come.

Your tail eyes picked up some great looking tails. Great shots of the turkey and his tail and especially the last cute upside down bird. 🌺
