Some call the Northern Bald Ibis the ugliest bird in the world 😱 they might not be the best looker in town but they are full of character thanks to their unique looks! Whilst in the Cadiz province for the week we visited the critically endangered birds yesterday. It looks like the reintroduction site is doing well with many pairs sitting on and building nests. I believe there are now over 50 pairs 😍 #Birds #BirdsofMastodon #Nature #Spain #Wildlife #Birdphotography #Andalucia #BirdScrolling
Storyline with the photos done yesterday. I have started mixing the photos with short videos in Final Cut Pro yesterday too. Still need to adjust the colours and tones, add transitions, and time each element. Then I will work on the sound and add captions.
Here's the storyline with only the photos.

A content California sea lion with a belly full of herring rests on a sandy beach on Vancouver Island.

A moment of awkward self-promotion to mention that I sell prints of my photography. You can buy from https://www.markrcourtney.com or contact me there if something catches your eye.

You can also visit https://photo.mrcourtney.com to see my in-person events and find the places to follow my photography.

If you just want to enjoy the photos I post but aren't looking to purchase anything, that's nice, too. Please share anything you find interesting, and I hope you continue to enjoy.

Sometimes my attention on animals is less about what they do but more about what they leave behind.

There's nothing like the death of a loved one as a reminder to make the most of life. I decided when I was a teenager that I wouldn't have any regrets when my time came, and I've followed that principle ever since. This recent death reinforces my life philosophy.

Black Oystercatcher, a bird you can hardly miss on your walk, with its yellow eyes, long red bill and long pink legs.

“Gorrell said two of the major threats they face are predation and choosing the wrong habitat.

“We know that they like Alpine valleys and meadows where you can see a long way,” he said. “Sometimes they will move into cut blocks where the forestry industry has come through and ruined all the trees.””
