A Magpie in a Eucalyptus tree, Moonshine Park, New Zealand. Between 1864 and 1874 1,000 birds were brought over from south-eastern Australia and released across New Zealand in order to help control insect pests. The Australian Magpies are not related to the Magpies in the rest of the world. Now common across rural New Zealand and also suburban areas with pine trees, macrocarpa and eucalypts. The Magpie is a strongly territorial bird and during the nesting season they have been known to dive-bomb cyclists or pedestrians who stray too close to a nest. I have come to know these birds in Moonshine Park and they allow me to pass them on top of the stopbank at close quarter.

Icterus chrysater
(Yellow-backed Oriole / Turpial Montañero)
The Yellow-backed Oriole is well-named, as it is one of the very few species of orioles with a yellow back. Indeed, this oriole shows only two colors, yellow and black: the wings are entirely black, the feathers lacking the white or yellow feather margins that are shown by most other species of oriole.
The Yellow-backed Oriole has an oddly discontinuous distribution: it occurs from southern Mexico south to northeastern Nicaragua, and again from Panama south to northern Colombia and Venezuela, but is absent from Costa Rica and from most of Nicaragua. This oriole has a very broad elevational range, ranging up to 2500 m in Central America and almost to 2700 m in Colombia.

Back in black
I hit the sack
I've been too long I'm glad to be back. Yes, I'm
Let loose
From the noose
That's kept me hanging about
I keep lookin' at the sky
'Cause it's gettin' me high
Forget the hearse cause I'll never die
I got nine lives
Cat's eyes
Abusin' every one of them and running wild
'Cause I'm back
Yes I'm back
Well I'm back
Yes I'm back
Well I'm ba-hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
Well I'm back in black
Yes I'm back in black, hey
Back in the back
Of a Cadillac
Number one with a bullet
I'm a power pack
Yes, I'm in a band, with a gang
They've got to catch me if they want me to hang
'Cause I'm back on the track
And I'm beatin' the flack
Nobody's gonna get me on another rap
So look at me now
I'm just makin' my play
Don't try to push your luck
Just get out of my way
'Cause I'm back
Yes I'm back
Well I'm back
Yes I'm back
Well I'm ba-hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
Well I'm back in black
Yes I'm back in black
Well I'm back
Yes I'm back
Well I'm back
Yes I'm back
Well I'm ba-hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey
Well I'm back in black
Yes I'm back in black
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Yes I am
Hey yeah, yeah oh yeah
Back in now
Well I'm ba-hey hey hey hey (I'm back)
Hey hey hey hey, (I'm back)
Hey hey hey hey, (I'm back)
Hey hey hey hey, (I'm back)
Hey hey hey hey, (I'm back)
Hey hey hey hey
Back in black
Yes I'm back in black
Out of the sight
Well, not back as such, I never left! Do you take play shots waiting for the light? Well, this is mine. Can you imagine how excited I was? And then the clouds rolled in snuffing out any hint of dawn colour. As the sun rose behind the wall of cloud, the inversion dissipated leaving not scrap of mist 😆
Crap, noisy high ISO shot (to keep the definition in the cloud). How I wish I'd taken an LE and blended! Ah well, you live and learn. Still an absolutely brilliant day charging around the fells.
*** Edit: Swapped noisy for smeary. The noisy version is here (not like you care but for my own records 😁):
I went looking for salamanders on Wednesday and found a few Red-backed ones. They are the ones usually out first so it wasn't a surprise.
I hope everyone enjoys this image! :D

What the World Needs now is Love.
the osprey are nesting in the same nest again now so I'm excited. I will go back periodically and check on them and take photos. And thankfully now, I won't be lugging a toddler size lens and a tripod. Yah!!! I love this much smaller size and lighter weight equipment!
I go see my ortho doc this morning and hopefully won't have to wear my cast anymore. Things are healing well. Let's hope that's what the ex-ray will show. I'll catch up with you all later! ❤️

VENICE - Reminded me of the wonderful track by Curved Air - I went to a Festival at Cardiff Castle (Headliners: Status Quo) and was told that Curved Air were Danish - not true, though the lead singer Sonja Kristina was danish sounding. Nowadays I can re-live Sonja singing 'Back Street Luv' via the internet - Amazing? (Youtube is the obvious option)
Creí que, como el mar
una noche de verano, tu sonrisa
me invitaba a sumergirme
(únicamente
a mi)
en tus aguas
profundas.
Pero salió la luna
y vi la playa llena
de exhaustos nadadores
Poema " Ingenuo" de Karmelo Iribarren
There was something so familiar about this scene...

This wonderful jaguar was the first one we found in our last expedition to Pantanal. The situation there is very sad, the forests are burnt and the the drought lasts for 3 years. I hope that soon the monsoon starts and bring life back to Pantanal. Luckily, the site where the jaguars are didn't suffer so much from the fires and we were lucky to find female jaguars with cubs, which I'll be posting in the coming days.
Facts: The jaguar (Panthera onca) is a big cat, a feline in the Panthera genus, and is the only extant Panthera species native to the Americas. The jaguar is the third-largest feline species after the tiger and the lion, and the largest in the Americas. The jaguar is a near-threatened species and its numbers are declining. Threats include loss and fragmentation of habitat. While international trade in jaguars or their parts is prohibited, the cat is still frequently killed by humans, particularly in conflicts with ranchers and farmers in Brazil.
Thanks a lot for your visits, comments, faves, invites, etc. Very much appreciated!
