this coopers hawk brought down an american kestrel and the battle for survival followed. amazingly, the kestrel found an opportunity to free itself from the grip of the hawk and managed to fly away
The Battle of Brunanburh, which was fought sometime in 937 between the Kingdom of England and the combined might of the Kingdoms of Scotland, Strathclyde and Dublin, is the most important British battle you’ve probably never heard of. So fierce was the fighting that according to the Anglo-Saxon Chronical “Never, before this, were more men in this island slain…”. King Æthelstan of England would emerge the victor, setting the course for the political and cultural development Britain, and in particular that of England, which would see its unity preserved and its identity realised.
There is noting on earth like the cry of a red-tailed hawk. Here he is warning off a Peregrine at the Sacramento NWR

Ok, so it may not be the biggest and grandest of Christmas trees, but it was slightly strange to see it in a fresh fish shop :)

this was a real battle against the elements kind of photo... the wind was blowing strongly, clouds kept bringing in an odd shower or two, the spray from the waves was covering my lens... the microfibre towels went into overdrive... the umbrella was nearly torn by the wind and finding the right moment to capture the shot i wanted required tonnes of patience...

Hey guys thanks for checking out my MOC on Flickr, this is taking about 50+ hours to build and is my own spinoff head canon Star Wars story! It is a mission where the 91st recon corps was stationed to settle local disputes before the Confederacy of independent systems became involved which brought the conflict to a whole new level.
Back gate designed to be defensible not accessible to the enemy. One more drummers tower, two or maybe four more walls depending on the available stock.
Jaguar (Panthera onca)—South America’s apex predator—caught in an intense, raw moment. The scar above its eye and its low, focused stance emerging from water hyacinths add to the drama.
These two wild stallions were fighting over some girl it looked like. It sure was awesome to see. I have included a cropped version of just their faces too. Taken at the Pilot Butte Wild Horse Range just outside Rock Springs, Wyoming.
Back from vacation and will catch up with everyone as fast as I can. Looking forward to seeing your work.
A very small part of the famous ` Terracotta Army` of some 8,000 figures. They have been guarding the tomb of Qin Shi Huang for over 2,000 years !! Each soldier has different features & expressions. Traces of pigment indicate that their current monochrome grey dress was once bright yellow, purple & green.
While we are still thinking of B&W and leading lines , here is a shot looking up one of the towers remaining at the site of Battle Abbey . It is sited by The Terrace Walk overlooking some of the Battlefield - according to the book it would appear to be 15th Century .
Displaying at the National Museum of the Marine Corps on April 11th, I had to come up with something featuring the USMC and also what’s apparently become my theme this year, the Anniversary of Something, so here’s my take on this iconic conflict. I only had about 6 hours to build it, so no border, and I would have liked to build up those ramparts higher but overall, fairly satisfied with this one. 100% LEGO except for the custom flags.

Ever forget something that was really important not to forget?
The Battle of New Orleans, fought on January 8, 1815 was the last major combat of the War of 1812. 4732 American combatants, commanded by Major General Andrew Jackson, prevented nearly 11,000 British infantry and Royal Marines, commanded by General Edward Pakenham, from seizing New Orleans as a strategic prize to end the war. The war was actually over by the time the main battle was fought, ended by the Treaty of Ghent on December 24, 1814, but since the US government had not yet approved the treaty, the fighting in Louisiana would continue until the British withdrew on January 18th. One of the most lop-sided victories in history, the British advanced under very heavy fire only to find once they reached the American ramparts that the ladders necessary to ascend the fortifications were not available, having been forgotten by the negligence of the Colonel in charge of them. With limited access to the Americans and taking fire the entire time, all British officers over the rank of Major were killed, leaving no one to sound the retreat. Their casualties were therefore disproportionately high, losing over 2000 in just 25 minutes of fighting, compared to less than 100 American casualties (only 13 were actually killed). As for the USMC, 58 US Marines fought at New Orleans and they are the American troops I am portraying here.
