The Macro Monday theme for 1/30 is screw. This choice fits the three parameters of the theme for MM. It also has garnered the most views and faves. I like the other three for totally different reasons, so I think I’ll dither for a bit before choosing.
Btb, I had an incredibly difficult time getting any of these to post. I finally discovered a work around but I’m hoping that my iPhone and Flickr app learn how to play nicely together again— SOON

The Eurasian siskin (Spinus spinus) is a small passerine bird in the finch family Fringillidae. It is also called the European siskin, common siskin or just siskin.
It is very common throughout Europe and Asia. It is found in forested areas, both coniferous and mixed woodland where it feeds on seeds of all kinds
It can be distinguished from other similar finches by the color of the plumage. The upper parts are greyish green and the under parts grey-streaked white. Its wings are black with a conspicuous yellow wing bar, and the tail is black with yellow sides. The male has a mainly yellow face and breast, with a neat black cap. Female and young birds have a greyish green head and no cap. It is a trusting, sociable and active bird. The song of this bird is a pleasant mix of twitters and trills. For these reasons it is often raised in captivity.
These birds have an unusual migration pattern as every few years in winter they migrate southwards in large numbers.
Next to the Vauban Tower on the left dating from 1695, considered the oldest lighthouse in France, the modern Cap Fréhel lighthouse is still in service. Measuring 33 meters in height, it was built in 1950 following the destruction of the previous lighthouse by the Germans in 1944. Its range in clear weather is 110 kilometers.

While trying to capture a shot of a timid Wren, a very rude but gorgeous Black cap decided to photo bomb :)
Die CAP SAN DIEGO ist das letzte noch erhaltene Schiff einer Serie von sechs schnellen Stückgutfrachtern, das 1961/62 für die Reederei Hamburg-Süd gebaut wurde und bis Ende 1981 vorzugsweise nach Südamerika fuhr.
Ihre elegante Silhouette gehört zum Hamburger Hafenpanorama wie die Speicherstadt und der Michel. Hamburger und Touristen lieben sie. Die haupt- und ehrenamtliche Crew hält die Cap San Diego mit viel Engagement in Schuss. Das Museumsschiff ist seit 2003 zudem ein maritimes Denkmal und schwimmendes Hotel, das heute seinen Liegeplatz an der Überseebrücke in Hamburg hat. Mehrmals im Jahr legt die CAP SAN DIEGO zu Museumsfahrten mit bis zu 500 Passagieren ab.
