Recovered from the depths of my hard drive and being a little idle I decided to ‘Ansel Adams’ the original colour rendition of this popular Derbyshire landmark.

Saltator atripennis
(Black-winged Saltator / Saltador de alas negras)
The Black-winged Saltator is a fairly common resident of humid montane forest on the west slope of the Andes from southern Ecuador to northern Colombia. It is more difficult to see than some other species of saltator, perhaps due to its preference for the canopy and its avoidance of clearings.

Looks can be deceiving as this smaller scruffy looking Sow Black Bear was able to catch Salmon readily, fend off larger Bears at prime fishing spots and had a cub last year, a true survivor and a wonderful Black Bear !!

Wild - At Porto Jofre - Pantanal - Brasil. This guy was really annoyed. According to our field guide, this was a young hawk calling for his parents.

This fluffy boa is supposed to be a Christmas Tree decoration but after playing with it for about half an hour Bonn finally let me dress her in it for all of 2 seconds.
I went for a wander in the Hoppers Lane/Sneydes Rd. area this morning to see which of the locals were around. A day of changeable weather. When I took this shot it was sunny with a 50 Km/h (31 mph) wind blowing the air temperature was 9°C (48°F) with the 'feels like' temperature 1°C (33°F) I had to take shelter as rain and hail squalls blew through. Currently it is sunny and 10.8°C (51°F) - wind down to 18Km/h (11 mph) and a 'feels like' 4.2°C (39°f).
I had always believed that shooting with the lowest possible ISO was the best (going back to the days of film), but a video I watched last night suggested some experimentation with higher ISO settings for wildlife shots could yield results. So here we go - ISO 6800 and these mundane Black-headed Gulls become almost ethereal
Black Terns are colony nesters found in shallow lakes, marshes, sloughs,and wet meadows where there are extensive shallows and emergent vegetation. Black Terns are noisy and fierce defenders of nests and will dive bomb intruders. (Atlas of Breeding Birds of Alberta)
At the Big Lake Interpretive Trail, the nests are often just a few meters away from the trail in a clump of vegetation in the shallow water. I spotted the mate of this one sitting on her nest and he hovered over me while vocalizing his displeasure with my presence. They will also fly right at you at eye level and then rise up about a meter from your head and give a final squawk and sometimes drop a "bomb". They will keep doing this until you move on.
