The Rock Ptarmigan (Lagopus muta) is a medium-sized gamebird in the grouse family. Averaging 34–36 cm (13–14 in) long, with a wingspan of 54–60 cm (21–24 in), this species feeds primarily on birch and willow buds and catkins. The rock ptarmigan breeds across arctic and subarctic Eurasia and North America and commonly has up to six chicks.

Photo of the Day – The Pied Kingfisher (Ceryle rudis) is widely distributed across Africa and Asia. The bird likes to hover over waterbodies before diving for fish. This, coupled with its black and white plumage and crest, are what makes it distinctive.
