Hello there!
Feathered Friday is almost over and I am almost late with my post. And since this week is about Funny Birds - the contest in Feathered Friends Community, I found very amusing diving ducks.
If you still don't know about this contest, check the link Feathered Friends - Show Me A Photo Contest Round 101, I would love to see your birds photos.
Here we go, bottoms up! 😀
And then comes the swan who balanced on one leg, and groom himself or herself. And here this big foot is ready to scratch the head.
Yes, that is the same swan from the contest post and here is his buddy with such a hilarious pose.
Every bird can be captured in awkward position, like this seagull.
Yes, I know, it's is again the grooming on one leg.
Oh, look at that performance.
Funny birds, small, big, in water, flying, landing, swimming.... taking pictures is entertaining too. For me it is more than that - the thrill of finding the bird after hearing its song, the sight of flying flock or the bird of prey, finding a new bird... Pictures may turn rubbish, but I am happy and less stressed after spending an hour with my feathered friends.
Happy birding!

Thank you! 🙂
Glad you like them.
As I see it, he/she is preening (=cleaning his/her feathers with his/her beak). This is not awkward at all, but completely natural. Probably every bird do it. Including my female Harris's hawk too.
