'The Swilkie' is the most dangerous whirlpool in the Pentland Firth. It is occasioned by the meeting of four or five contrary tides. According to Icelandic legend, the Swilkie is the place where the salt which maintains the saltiness of the oceans is ground in a giant quern, stolen from King Frodi by a sea-king named Mysing. When Mysing’s longship sank off Stroma under the weight of it, he still continued to grind away with it 15 fathoms down and to this day the sea can still be heard roaring through it.
'The Swilkie" is off the northern coast of the Island of Stroma.
This picture was taken in St. Peter’s Square, Manchester, UK, prior to the sun setting behind the Midland Hotel, (building on the right). I was trying to capture the sun setting above the distant tower; yet another Office Block going up in Manchester’s City Centre. Unfortunately the sun was shining above a band of cloud and therefore right into my lens so the image I was trying to capture never materialised, but I did manage to capture a silhouette of this chap on his bike riding towards me. Fortunately he turned right before running into me.
This image has not been toned; it is, as it was, at the time of taking the picture.
Glossy Ibis

It was great to put my camera an 800 lens that Sam Maglione let me try. I picked the farthest away bird that I could find on the Ocean City bridge.

Red Knott
[Calidris canutus]
Stone Harbor, NJ
This shot was earlier in the season when the red knotts still had their breeding colors. With the upcoming weather forecast it looks like I will be going through older photos!
It was tagged by Kathy Clark May 2018 in NJ and was born 2016 or earlier.
This vehicle was auctioned in 2016 (same year I stumbled upon it parked in Jedburgh's main street).

Pico Cruzado, Hispaniolan Crossbill (Loxia megaplaga)
Status:
Residente Local No Comun (Rlnc)
Endemica (E)
En Peligro (EN)
El Pico Cruzado de La Española (Loxia megaplaga) es un Pico Cruzado que es endémico de la isla de La Española en el mar Caribe y por lo tanto solo se puede encontrar en Haiti y la República Dominicana.
Anteriormente se consideraba una subespecie de Pico Cruzado aliblanco, Loxia leucoptera megaplaga, pero actualmente se considera una especie aparte, que habita en los pinares de Pinus occidentalis y que se alimenta casi exclusivamente de las semillas de su piña, y se diferencia del Pico Cruzado aliblanco por su plumaje más oscuro y su pico más robusto.
Existe una aceptación general de que el origen de L. megaplaga se remonta a las poblaciones sureñas de L. leucoptera. Estos se quedaron varados en las montañas más altas de bosques de pinos en La Española (la más alta de todas las islas del Caribe) cuando los glaciares y los vastos bosques de coníferas templados comenzaron a retroceder hacia el norte después del final del último período glacial al comienzo del Holoceno, hace unos 10.000 años. . La distancia que ahora separa a ambas especies es de miles de kilómetros (desde el Caribe hasta el norte de los EE. UU. Y Canadá), lo que hace que la historia de la cruz española sea interesante desde un punto de vista ecológico y ambiental.
El ave se alimenta casi exclusivamente de las semillas de los conos de pino hispánico (Pinus occidentalis).

The Hispaniolan crossbill (Loxia megaplaga) is a crossbill that is endemic to the island of Hispaniola in the Caribbean and therefore only found in Haiti and the Dominican Republic.
It was formerly regarded as conspecific with the two-barred crossbill (L. leucoptera), from which it is now assumed it evolved.
There is general acceptance that the origin of the L. megaplaga can be traced to southern populations of L. leucoptera. These got stranded on the highest pine-forested mountains in Hispaniola (the highest in all the Caribbean islands) when the glaciers and vast temperate coniferous forests started receding northward after end of the last glacial period at the beginning of the Holocene, some 10,000 years ago. The distance that now separates both species is of thousands of kilometers (from the Caribbean to the northern U.S. and Canada), making the story of the Hispaniolan crossbill an interesting one from an ecological and environmental point of view.
The bird feeds almost exclusively on the seeds from Hispaniolan pine (Pinus occidentalis) cones.

Fjallsárlón is a glacier lake at the south end of the Icelandic glacier Vatnajökull. Fjallsjökull which is part of the bigger glacier reaches down to the water of the lake and some ice-bergs are drifting by on its surface.
