My birds don't perch on flowers
<div class=text-justify>

Well, some probably do. But most of the ones I take pictures, no!! When I read this week's **SMAP** contest, I thought I would find tons of photos on the subject easily on my collection... but no! Nevertheless, I did find some, and I've been slacking posting for too long so, time to share some birdies (and some timy tiny flowers)!
***
I don't know the name of these little flowers nor the bush, but do know what was sitting on top of it.

<center><sup>Yellow wagtail / AlvΓ©ola amarela (PT) - *Motacilla flava iberiae*</sup></center>

I don't remember last time I saw one of these! Portugal has 3 species of wagtails, being the white one by far the most common. It's fairly easy to recognize wagtails, mainly because... well, they wag their tails! And a lot! Besides, their tails are big relative to their general size. In this particular species, the yellow one, this characteristic is not so apparent.

There's a ton of different subspecies, and if I'm not mistaken, this one is the most common here in Portugal.

<center><sup>Common linnet / Pintarroxo (PT) - *Carduelis cannabina*</sup></center>

This is another one of the common portuguese species, and this time I even know the name of the bush where he was perched. He tried to flee the scene but I was faster! 
This bush is called *Heather*, and the flowers can have a variety of colours; this pink one is probably my favourite.

The linnet flew with his partner to a nearby bush with no flowers in sight... but they deserved to be on the post anyway.

Do dandelions count as flowers? Because if they do...

<center>
![33344.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/pardinus/23tkpMeEA8QgVtf2yoxEgzx7Bn9GmYEHCr5yyP2gdYhh5ygDNNBMRLMHiMno4YJnyYD2F.jpg)</center>
<center><sup>Cattle egret - *Bubulcus ibis*</sup></center>

This cattle egret can join in too! I know, the flowers are tiny! But it's not the size that counts, right? And with that in mind, here are a couple more feathered friends:

<center>
![55533.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/pardinus/23t7emn1j3F35ax5ukwzTkddmvM77tCP87wLrp1mqedcVkC6ZSbyfqHaH2LHE2vBfDBeo.jpg)</center>
<center><sup>Red billed chough / Gralha de bico vermelho (PT) - *Pyrrhocorax pyrrhocorax*</sup></center>

Although called a chough, they belong to the *Corvidae* family, and they're found in mountain ranges. They are the only members of the family with a red beak, and they're not normally shy, so the identification should be easy! And fortunately for me, they like to roam near little yellow flowers.

Another little fellow that can be seen hopping near flowers? The robin!

<center>
![444.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/pardinus/EoEqWaqw5XgcBANiNHpUym2UnbpsESwChjW23Qi9nohsw4Ryny1qLUwwjTy1D5XvXaC.jpg)
</center>
<center><sup>European robin / Pisco de peito ruivo (PT) - *Erithacus rubecula*</sup></center>

These ones can also be found in urban settings; but this one was photographed in the middle of a hiking trail in *Picos de Europa*, a beautiful park in Spain.

OK, a couple more to wrap it up; beautiful birds, with beautiful flowers. Found them both in Sri Lanka; this one was spotted thanks to our guide's eagle eye:

<center>
![666677.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/pardinus/23tbs4SniKpgyaw9jsf4Hny7NpnvYsS5fPw7A9du7uduzethzDMtvDXVDxf1S34APDaXb.jpg)</center>
<center><sup>Indian roller - *Coracias benghalensis*</sup></center>

A beautiful indian roller, admiring a beautiful naturally-ocurring-not pasted whatsoever tulip.

The next birdie was way bigger, so it was easily spotted.

<center>
![888.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/pardinus/243g11c72zPoYrrh7SNBJhbVqsEjQaYThvLQULQAAwG9TnW1CYTtPfSH1E7jXfwCD9Xfo.jpg)</center>
<center><sup>Changeable hawk-eagle - *Nisaetus cirrhatus*</sup></center>

And he even posed to the photo, probably because it was very distracted admiring the sunflower!
***
I "might" have cheated a bit... but it was all in good faith, because I wanted to share featheredfriends! It's the intention that counts, right? πŸ˜‰

Awesome birds and nature surrounding.
It looks like these were made somewhere in Africa.

As always you have great selection of bird photos. Of course small flowers count, as long as it is a flower. And the last two shots were very well executed. πŸ˜€
The wagtails are very cute and I have seen just the white. There is yellow wagtail in Bulgaria but not in urban areas. I haven't seen it yet. The couple of linnets is so adorable. I almost thought I had female linnet once, but it was a juvenile goldfinch. πŸ˜€

It had been long since I've seen linnets as well, and they're supposed to be common here! Definitely have to spend more time birdwatching... ;)
