heading through Rocklea bound for the Coffs Harbour area on the NSW North Coast line 621/721 runs onthe dual guage
Seen in Oxford is Go-Ahead Group owned Thames Travel Wright Eclipse Gemini 3 bodied Volvo B5TL 621 - BN68XRO in Harwell connector livery.
Here is the first of three nigh identical photos that saw a consecutive trio of orange line E400 diesels come by in fleet number order! Although neat that I got three in order, it was sort of by accident that it happened that way.
Looking on Bustimes (as ever), I'd spotted that 621 was operating a 36 towards Chilwell and remembered that my previous photo depicting it on the 36 wasn't brightly sunlit. Ordinarily that isn't the sort of thing I'd specifically go out for, as I might see 621 in the sun again any time, but I also noticed the working a few minutes behind it was being operated by 623, which I'd yet to photograph in 35/36 livery. As it was evening, the sunlight was much further round than when I'm usually photographing around Chilwell, limiting the good lighting angle to a short stretch of Inham Road.
I ended up standing beside the mouth of a side road called Parr Gate for the photo of 621, as it was the first spot I came to with a suitably good light angle, without being stood too close to the roadside and without car or lamp post shadows fouling the width of the road. As much as I wanted to move to a slightly different place for the following photos, there was nowhere else that didn't have parked cars (or their shadows) obstructing the view!
The next thing that happened was essentially a repeat of 603 from a few days before; 623 arrived at Blandford Road and disappeared off the tracker for about ten minutes. It was overtaken by another bus - 622 - which was on a board that terminated in Chilwell. That one passed me displaying 'not in service', and a minute after that, 623 reappeared on the tracker and went by with the next 36 to Victoria Centre... leaving me with photos of 621/2/3 in order!
So, with the full story out of the way (expect for the part where I went on to photograph trams and combine harvesters), here is 621 in Chilwell on 6.8.22, making its way down Inham Road with a 36. The £1-after-7 sticker beside the destination blind remained at this point, while NCT was in the process of removing them from the fleet after the end of the promotion.

Cigüeña Blanca o Común (Ciconia ciconia)
Es una de las zancudas de mayor tamaño teniendo una longitud entre 100 y 200cm y un peso comprendido entre los 2,5 y 4,4kg. Se distingue bien de otras aves blancas por presentar las patas y el pico de color rojo. También se distingue por tener el cuello largo, cola corta y alas negras con mancha blanca. Los jóvenes muestran el pico negruzco y las patas gris rojizo. Los machos presentan un tamaño mayor que las hembras y presentan un pico más grande. Sus saludos rituales van acompañados de un típico sonido de chasquido del pico, llamando fuertemente la atención. Anida en árboles así como en edificios altos de pueblos y ciudades en lugares de difícil acceso, como chimeneas o campanarios de iglesias, y siempre que en los alrededores tenga suficiente alimento, preferiblemente si en las cercanías existe un embalse o masa de agua, pudiendo encontrarse también en encinares, dehesas y edificaciones aisladas. Los nidos se construyen con todo material que se encuentra al alcance, ramas, cepellones de paja, musgos, trapos, lana e incluso plásticos. Aceptan de buen grado los nidos artificiales. Se alimenta de insectos y pequeños vertebrados, aunque si hay ríos cercanos también puede alimentarse de peces. Cada vez mas, sin embargo recurren a los vertederos de basuras para comer, o bien capturan pequeños ratones y ratas en los campos cultivados por los que se les considera beneficiosos ya que eliminan estas especies dañinas para la agricultura. Desde enero hasta marzo se produce la formación de las parejas y la puesta de 3 a 5 huevos, suele ser en marzo. La incubación dura 30 idas y los pollos permanecen en el nido entre 50 y 60 días. Hasta pasado un mes después de la eclosión siempre hay un adulto que permanece vigilante junto al nido. Pasado este período, uno de los padres ya puede ocuparse de sacar adelante las crías en solitario. Es un ave migratoria y esta se produce desde diciembre y enero hasta julio, cuando emigra hacia Afrecha, por dos rutas bien delimitadas como son el estrecho de Gibraltar y Bósforo, aunque cada vez es mas frecuente que permanezcan en nuestro territorio. Las amenazas que presenta la Cigüeña Blanca, se producen como consecuencia de la desecación de zonas húmedas, insecticidas, contaminación de arroyos y ríos, destrucción de nidos, a los choques en vuelo con líneas eléctricas e igualmente debido a la caza de que es objeto en las áreas de invernada. La Cigüeña Blanca en La Rioja, como en toda España, sufrió un gran descenso de su población entre los años cincuenta y sesenta, sin embargo a partir de 1989 comienza a producirse un aumento en la colonia de cigüeñas. La concentración en los tejados de la Colegiata de San Miguel de Alfaro, es la mayor conocida en todo el mundo en un mismo edificio. Otras concentraciones importantes en La Rioja se producen en Logroño, Calahorra y Haro.
Or Common White Stork (Ciconia ciconia)
One of the largest wading having a length between 100 and 200cm and weighing between 2.5 and 4.4 kg. It is distinguished from other birds by presenting white legs and red beak. It is also distinguished by having a long neck, short tail and black wings with white spots. The young show black beak and legs reddish gray. The males larger than females and have a larger peak. Their ritual greetings are accompanied by a popping sound typical of the peak, strongly calling attention. Nests in trees and on tall buildings in towns and cities in inaccessible places such as chimneys or church towers, and provided that you have enough food around, preferably in the vicinity if there is a reservoir or body of water, can be found also in oak woodlands, meadows and isolated buildings. Nests are built with any material that is within reach, branches, root balls of straw, moss, rags, wool and even plastics. Readily accept artificial nests. It feeds on insects and small vertebrates, although there are nearby rivers may also feed on fish. Increasingly, however, rely on landfills to eat or catch small mice and rats in fields for which they are considered beneficial because they eliminate these species harmful to agriculture. From January to March results in the formation of couples and laying 3-5 eggs, usually in March. Incubation lasts for 30 trips and chickens remain in the nest between 50 and 60 days. Until one month after hatching there is always an adult who remains vigilant near the nest. After this period, a parent can now move forward to deal with the young alone. It is a migratory bird and this takes place from December and January until July, when he emigrated to bran, two well-defined routes such as the Strait of Gibraltar and the Bosphorus, but is becoming more prevalent to stay in our territory. The threats posed by White Stork, occur as a result of desiccation of wetlands, pesticides, pollution of streams and rivers, destruction of nests, in-flight collisions with power lines and also due to hunting that is object wintering areas. The White Stork in La Rioja, as in Spain, suffered a major decline in population between the fifties and sixties, but from 1989 began to be an increase in the colony of storks. Focusing on the roof of the Collegiate of San Miguel de Alfaro, is the largest known around the world in the same building. Other major concentrations occur in La Rioja Logroño, Calahorra and Haro.

Info (SP): Originalmente los 3 vehiculos de esta remesa estaban destinados a prestar servicio en Lanzarote. Sin embargo al llegar a la isla decidieron no proceder con la compra de estas unidades. En principio fueron 4 las rezagadas en Lanzarote, 3 fueron adquiridas por Guaguas Municipales y la otra es la actual unidad 4751 de TITSA en Tenerife. Las 3 unidades en Gran Canaria solian cubrir rutas de media-baja densidad como las lineas 6, 7, 18, 19, 41 o 70. No obstante con la llegada en 2021 de las unidades Iveco Heuliez y debido a la falta de recambios tras la quiebra de Tata Hispano, estas 3 unidades fueron puestas como vehiculos de sustitucion y cubren las lineas 7 y 70 una a la vez cada pocos dias.
Info (EN): Originally the 3 vehicles from this batch were destined for Lanzarote's public transport system. However after arriving in the island, the local company decided not to go ahead with the purchase. There were 4 rejected vehicles from this decision, 3 were bought by Guaguas Municipales and the 4th one is currently unit 4751 of TITSA in Tenerife. The 3 units that went to Gran Canaria were destined to cover routes with medium-low density such as lines 6, 7, 18, 19, 41 or 70. Nevertheless with the arrival of the new Iveco Heuliez vehicles and the lack of spare parts due to Tata Hispano's bankrupcy, the decision was made to keep these as substitute vehicles. They currently cover routes 7 and 70, one bus at a time every several days.

Steamranger's 620 class steam locomotive, 621 'Duke of Edinburgh' passes the grain silos at Strathalbyn whilst hauling the Southern Encounter service on 13th August 2017.
621 is on the 36 and looks quite pleased about it, although being an E400 it invariably spends 24/7 looking pleased, since that's the kind of feeling I get off these facelift Enviro buses and I can't not see it. A lot of buses tend to look downright miserable or sometimes even angry... or just straight up ugly which is what most manufacturers go for these days.

No idea how the shutter speed got to 1/5000 sec and aperture f/6.3. Neither number is a setting I use, and I don't shoot in fully automatic or program modes. Considering the 1DX2 is a new camera, I would guess there is a software bug in LightRoom exporting the EXIF data to JPEG.
