European Robin (Erithacus rubecula) known simply as the Robin or Robin Redbreast in Ireland.
Robins are found throughout Ireland, and are common in towns and cities as well as in the country.
Unusual among birds the female robin also sings, and the robin is the only bird in Ireland that keeps singing right through the winter. Adult male and female Robins look identical, but immature birds lack the red breast and have spotted brown plumage with a scalloped golden pattern on the breast.
Robins are wonderful opportunists, and take full advantage of their proximity to people to supplement their diet – particularly during the winter months. When the days are cold and short, Robins will be among the first to visit our bird-tables and feeders to boost the meagre pickings available in nature. At any time of the year they will flit restlessly around gardeners feet as they turn the soil, eager to cash in on a free meal of earthworms and insect larvae. Robins get bolder with repeated offers of food, and some become so tame that they will even enter houses or feed from the hand.

As the night winds sing and temperature starts to drop, many hydrangeas have changed colour. This one is one of the few Endless Summer Hydrangeas which manage to keep their beautiful pink, among others with shades of mauve and blue. My gardener said it was because I have not spread my coffee grounds out evenly and therefore the soil varies in pH levels. Suits me very well.
As you walk through the streets of almost any Italian city or town, be sure to pause for a moment and take a look down the alleys that you pass by. You just might catch a glimpse of the city’s hidden beauty.
As its name suggests, Yellow star-of-Bethlehem is a golden-yellow, star-like flower that can be found growing in woodland on basic soils. Although it is rare, it can be very abundant where it does occur. It grows from a bulb, which waits dormant underground until spring.

Thanks for your visit and comments, much appreciated!🙋♀️
As we hurtle towards the end of term I thought that it was timely to remind everyone that I do, in fact, live in Phuket rather than all the other far flung places that I've been showing you pictures of. This reservoir is a regular haunt for me as I both hike and cycle there regularly. This was a rare sunny day in the midst of the rainy season
As the name suggests, the Marsh Harrier lives in wetland habitats. They are a success story now after being extinct in Britain in the 19th Century. Since the first pairs bred in 1971 in Suffolk they have increased very well indeed, as has the wetland management on which they depend. It is now a regular sight to see these wonderful large harriers hunting over our marshes. I photographed this one locally, something that I would not have thought possible only 30 years ago.
Thank you for having a look at my photos. Comments or faves are very welcome and much appreciated.
As I was going through last years photos, there are a lot of them I would still like to share.
This one was in the close proximity to Bryce Canyon.

As soo as he saw me he started yelling, and all I could make out is Hey Everyone Watch That Guy Across The Street With That Big Thing Pointed At Us.
Thanks for everything.
Some facts: The ocelot, also known as the dwarf leopard, is a wild cat distributed extensively within South America including the islands of Trinidad and Margarita, Central America, and Mexico. It has been reported as far north as Texas. North of Mexico, it is found regularly only in the extreme southern part of Texas,although there are rare sightings in southern Arizona.
The ocelot is similar in appearance to a domestic cat. Its fur resembles that of a clouded leopard or jaguar and was once regarded as particularly valuable. As a result, hundreds of thousands of ocelots were once killed for their fur. The feline was classified as a vulnerable species from 1972 until 1996, and is now listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocelot

As I briefly stopped for a distant photo of this Barred Owl I noticed lots of signs of voles in the surrounding field grass.
Thank you for viewing
As written on the plaque at this site:
Jacob
The Circle Dray Horse
The famous Courage dray horses were stabled on this site from the early 19th century and delivered beer around London from the brewery in Horselydown Lane by Tower Bridge.
In the 16th century the area became known as Horselydown which derives from ‘Horse-lie-down’, a description of working horses resting before crossing London bridge into the City of London.
Jacob was commissioned by Jacob’s Island Company and Farlane properties as the centrepiece of The Circle to commemorate the history of the site. He was flown over London by helicopter into Queen Elizabeth Street to launch The Circle in October 1987.

As I crawl through the sand and lay on my stomach to capture this shot and others. Mersea Island is having a surge tide. If your not aware there is one road on and off. If the strood ( the rd on and off ) gets covered by sea you can have a two hour wait to get back across. After I finished photographing everything that moved, I realised that high tide was at 1.30pm and it was 12.45pm. I was stuck on mersea til the tide had subsided 3pm. Think I got some ok shots though!
As you can see the hard working crew of the telephone company has mastered setting out orange cones. Now, if they can just get that bucket up the pole, we will have something. HTT
As it is the 9th November and Germany commemorates the fall of the wall in 1989 I wanted my image to mean something today.
As the bird freely flew in circles in the wide open sky, it was probably enjoying the flight as much as I was enjoying photographing it.
広い空を自由にぐるぐる回っていたその鳥の楽しさ。その鳥を撮っている私の楽しさ。同じだろう。
Little orange butterfly - probably a Lycaena ottomanus, but I am not sure.

As the swan approached to the margin of the water, I thought it perhaps had designs on our picnic lunch. (A woman on the seat next to us beat a hasty retreat.)
But the swan soon resumed its preening, which it had started in the water, and finally was energetically removing, with its beak, tiny feathers which fluttered down to the pebbly shore.
As normality descends on our household ( children return to school today) so I thought I’d go back to ‘normal’ on Flickr!
Hope you all have a good day and thanks for stopping
As the sun comes around again for you in the northern hemisphere and swings away from us here in the southern hemisphere, I'd like to wish you and your loved ones the Happiest Holidays and all the best for 2020!!!!!!!
(Couldn't resist using this image once again.)
Spending as much time as I can at my favorite place, I watched the seabirds flee, I knew something was up, then this gigantic juvenile flew in front of me, over and around my head. The sun was setting. She gave me a lovely silhouette.
This one is younger than the two we saw on Sunday.
Be well dear Flickr friends!!!!
As soon as I saw this week's Macro Mondays' theme of `Beverage', I decided I would shoot a macro of Irn-Bru (iron brew), a Scottish carbonated soft drink. The advertising slogans have included `Scotland's other national drink' and `Made in Scotland from girders', a reference to Irn-Bru's rusty colour. After vigorously shaking the bottle so many times I don't know if it will ever be safe to open(!), and shining a light through the Irn-Bru, I ended up with this rather abstract, fizzy, image, where the fizzy bubbles (large bubble on the right; various smaller ones on the left) have acted as lenses, showing some of the label.
As I was heading back home last weekend the sun broke through the storm clouds on the western horizon and I was lucky enough to be going through some of the most beautiful country in Loudoun and Warren Counties of Virginia at the time. So I turned down a road and raced around until I found this lovely little farm... sometimes luck is in your favor. ;-)

Sitting on a catamaran watching the sun go down below the horizon like a big red ball. The cloudy sky added to the drama.
♥ Many thanks for your very kind reactions and favs!
They are very much appreciated, thanks a lot!! ♥♥
As the Summer fades in the memory, and Autumn wraps it wet and warm snuggles around. It is time to bring in the harvest. Some vegetables just finishing, such as the beans, some just starting, like the pears and grapes.
As the title indicates - an edit of a previous image I took one sunrise at Bar Beach, NSW; Australia a few weeks ago.
I've altered the composition slightly from the original in an attempt to help the viewers eye follow the line of rocks front and back through the image - hope it works!
Have a great day and weekend!!
Thanks once again for any comments, views or favorites for this or any of my other images - always very much appreciated!!!
As we're in Lockdown v2.0, this is from pre-plague times.
Shot on the Isle of Lewis but I can't remember where - possibly Port of Ness.
As I prepare for my annual October fishing trip to Lake George and the Juniper Club, I decided to review last years photos.
This photo is of one of the two Osprey that laid claim to Silver Glen over the past few years. They spend as much time fending off the eagles as they do providing for themselves.
My hope is that they are well after spending another year in the wild as I hope to be seeing them soon!
As close as you get to my cat's nose.

El origen del Campo das Hortas se sitúa en el medievo, con la construcción de la muralla de Santiago. Una de sus siete puertas, la Porta da Trinidade, se encontraba muy cerca de la zona, en la calle Carretas.
Por esa puerta, que servía como punto de inicio del Camino de Santiago a Fisterra, también llegaban la mayor parte de productos hortícolas a la ciudad, lo que le valió el sobrenombre de Porta dos Carros.
La Rúa das Hortas también recibe su nombre de aquella época, en la que atravesaba dos grandes agrupaciones de parcelas dedicadas al cultivo.
El desarrollo urbano de Santiago a lo largo de los próximos siglos no afectó a los usos de uno de esos espacios, situado tras la Igrexa de San Fructuoso: el Campo das Hortas.
