I uploaded a video of the goings-on in a crowded, busy gnatcatcher nest a while back. In real time, the gnatcatchers move so fast that the footage almost appears to have been artificially accelerated. Here is two seconds of actual-time footage slowed down to twenty seconds.
The previous video of real-time footage is linked below.

Locomotive History
45124 was built at Derby Works as D28 and entered traffic in May 1961 allocated to Derby MPD. In September 1961 it transferred to Neville Hill moving across the city of Leeds to Holbeck in December 1962. In 1973 the Midland Main Line services started to migrate from steam heating to electric heating of the coaching stock and it was one of fifty class 45 locomotives selected to have its steam heating boiler replaced with electric train heating equipment (a Brush BL100-30 ETH auxiliary alternator) and emerged from Derby Works in April 1974 as 45124. Following conversion and renumbering 45124 was to spend the next twelve years allocated to Toton until November 1986 when it moved to Tinsley, from where it was withdrawn in January 1988 following a bogie fire. After withdrawal from service 45124 was dumped in Toton yard until early 1992 when it moved to MC Metals Glasgow and was broken up during April 1992.

Northstar's first train of the rush gets on the gas clear of Van Buren Street in Minneapolis, rattling the windows (no, not really) of Indeed Brewing.
In all honesty these trains go nearly unnoticed by commuters, residents and railfans alike. I for one love the bright paint but I really love these brick buildings in the neighborhood and in some way all of the bright graffiti complements the train consist.
Nearly new CN ES44AC 2946 gently accelerates east with CN Train M33891-26 (Manifest, Waterloo, Iowa–Kirk Yard, Gary, Ind.) after receiving a fresh crew here at Broadview, Ill.
While the locomotive is just a few weeks old, the US&S signal hardware protecting the spring switch at Broadview is anything but, certainly having witnessed the passage of Illinois Central's Land O' Corn, Hawkeye and Iowan passenger trains when those trains rode behind orange and brown streamliners.
Civita was founded by Etruscans more than 2,500 years ago. Its population dwindled to just 6 residents over the course of the 20th century. Civita was the birthplace of Saint Bonaventure, who died in 1274. By the 16th century, Civita was beginning to decline, becoming eclipsed by its former suburb Bagnoregio.
At the end of the 17th century, the bishop and the municipal government were forced to move to Bagnoregio because of a major earthquake that accelerated the old town's decline. At that time, the area was part of the Papal States.
In the 19th century, Civita's location was turning into an island and the pace of the erosion quickened as the layer of clay below the stone was reached in the area where today's bridge is situated. Bagnoregio continues as a small but prosperous town, while Civita became known in Italian as il paese che muore ("the town that is dying").
The town is noted for its striking position atop a plateau of friable volcanic tuff overlooking the Tiber river valley, in constant danger of destruction as its edges fall off, leaving the buildings built on the plateau to crumble.
The population today varies from about 12 people in winter to more than 100 in summer.

11 December .Glaciers, vast reserves of ice and snow found across the planet, are far more than frozen landscapes - they are lifelines for ecosystems and communities, holding around 70 percent of the world's freshwater.
Their accelerated melting represents not only an environmental crisis but also a humanitarian one, threatening agriculture, clean energy, water security and billions of peoples’ lives. Their retreat, driven by rising global temperatures, is a stark indicator of the climate crisis. Melting glaciers and thawing permafrost increase risks such as floods, glacier lake outburst floods, landslides or enhanced erosion and sediment, endangering downstream populations and critical infrastructure. Kala Patthar is the spot for those who wish to see an up-close unobstructed view of Mount Everest. And at 5,643 meters, is higher than four of the seven summits. Because of the topography, the Lhotse wall blocks Everest from most vantage points. Mt Everest stood really tall from where i am . The right-most peak is Mt Nuptse (7,861 m/25,791 ft ) .Mt Everest (29,031 ft / 8,849m) is the visible peak behind the left ridge of Nuptse.

This is a Forester's Tern right after an unsuccessful early evening dive...it's just about that time when the sunrays start turning that bright reddish yellow color.

XP2004 guides ST24 away from its origin of Albury, bound for Goulburn.
Due to trackwork either sides of the XPTs journey, 2 sets were allocated to run "shuttle" services between Albury and Goulburn, rather than running buses for the entire journey.

A young Kayan woman at a hill tribe village in northern Thailand. She is posing behind some locally made souvenirs that she is selling in her stall. The thanaka paste on her face is a dead giveaway that she is originally from Myanmar. The Kayan people have been migrating to Thailand for better economic prospects for a long time, but it has accelerated in recent years due to the ongoing conflict in Myanmar.
