Those few pictures of a red-crested cardinal were taken in a park in Buenos Aires. It occurs in northern and central Argentina, Brazil and Bolivia. It weighs 30-45 grams, with a wingspan of less than 30 cm. Due to its beautiful voice it is also artificially bred.

The name of this species probably comes from its fiery red crest on its head. Regrettably I didn’t manage to take many photos during a single encounter with this bird in the vicinity of Iguasu in Argentina. I managed, however, to capture its fiery crest on the head. This bird weighs about a dozen or so grams.

Well, I did not succeed with the red-crested pochard. Two attempts to photograph this bird in Mongolia ended in merely documentary pictures. On little ponds, apart from red-crested pochards there were also bar-headed geese, Mongolian herring gulls, horned grebes and grey herons. I did not have problems with photographing gulls or geese, but the pochards were unfortunately too far away to take better pictures.

It can be found in North and Central America. These images were taken in Greece. A small stream of very pure water was flowing to the sea. The turtles swam to the tourists passing by in hope for an easy meal so taking pictures was not a problem. It is interesting that the area was not enclosed. So probably it was not a breeding place, but acclimatized turtles set free by bored farmers. This acclimatization was quite successful as there were dozens of turtles...
