Another shot of Snugs intently studying the activity of the bird feeder, especially the agitated couple of Robins who are making a lot of noise and flitting about quite close to her. So now I keep her away for the moment as I suspect they may be trying to protect a nest.

It would seem this male Downy Woodpecker was not too thrilled when the Pine Warbler showed up at the suet feeder for a few nibbles.

As luck would have it, the Pine Warbler insisted on not showing its face for the camera. Oh well, nature doesn't always cooperate the way we'd like them to.

A sculpture by Anthony Gormley on the campus of Imperial College London which caused some controversy in 2022 as, although it is supposed to represent a squatting figure, it can be interpreted as somewhat phallic.

It has been a rather wet day, The rain didn't stop Sethi from going outside where I saw him sitting on a garden box from where he can watch what is going on in our street. I'm not sure what he saw but it must have been fascinating. :)

One of this year’s cubs back in June. Being very watchful between mouthfuls.

This male Great Horned owl was under attack from the local jays and crows, and keeping alert for any incoming attacks.

Seen in north Walnut Creek, California.

An exquisitely patterned male Wild Indigo Duskywing Skipper butterfly stands ready to defend his territory and on alert to attract a willing dance partner.

Note: Males (among other features) have hind tibial tufts, or hair-like structures on the rear legs, as indicated.

Not particularly abundant, but becoming more common.

Bird on high alert as i was behind the camera to capture it's true beauty.

The beautiful Magnificent hummingbird was captured when he appeared to be on the alert !!!. They are definitely territorial and do not like anything infringing on their space !! Fortunately his pose helped in showing off his magnificent colors !!

Wishing a great and blessed evening !

"Be alert. We need more lerts."

Sydney graffiti from decades ago.

Was in bright sun, so I can't see her eyes in this one but I still liked it.

Anyhoo, I'm just posting a couple tonight as I haven't been on for a few days.

If I'm behind in visits or returning visits to you, I'm sorry.

I'm on a self-retrieval mission lately.

I will catch up, soon as.

Fish dinner tonight - Enjoy your weekend :)

I do love this little bird. It has the same characteristics as its relations, the other tits, energetic, colourful and determined. It is loving the peanuts and comes quite frequently through the day.
