I miss the way you say my name
The way you bend, the way you break
Your makeup running down your face
The way you fuck, the way you taste
When the curtains call the time
Will we both go home alive?
It wasn't hard to realize
Love's the death of peace of mind
Red Wattlebird (Anthochaera carunculata)
While the pair of Sivereyes were in the Pittosporum tree yesterdy, the Wattlebirds paid no attention. They just sat in the Golden Ash Tree and preened.

Probably Saint Joachim, father of Mary. Would make sense, the church is called "Assumption of Mary". The window was made in the 19th-century.

as strong as you were, tender you go
I’m watching you breathing, for the last time
a song for your heart, but when it is quiet
I know what it means and I’ll carry you home
I’ll carry you home.
I laid out some dried sunflower seed heads in my backyard, hoping to photograph birds as they pecked at them, but the squirrels carried them away. This one brought it up to a branch to munch on before taking it home.
Continuing this week's 'Spitfire' theme - here is a profile view of a Spitfire Mk 1. A key feature is the barely perceptible, tapering, twist to the wing. The leading edge points upwards by 2 degrees where it joins the body, reducing to half a degree at the tip. This subtle twist greatly improved the handling for pilots, but made the structure far more difficult to manufacture. The wing was the design of Canadian-born aerodynamicist Beverley Shenstone, an unsung hero of the Spitfire story.
This aircraft carries the Eagle Squadron badge. Three RAF squadrons were formed with volunteer airmen from the USA in 1940 before American entry into WW2. About 240 men served, of whom around 100 perished. In Sept 1942, the US airmen transferred to the US 8th Army Air Force. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eagle_Squadrons
The sky and the strong wind have moved the spirit inside me

Row, row, row your boat,
Gently down the stream,
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily
Life is but a dream.

Sydney, AUSTRÀLIA 2023
The Sydney Harbour Bridge is a steel through arch bridge in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, spanning Sydney Harbour from the central business district (CBD) to the North Shore. The view of the bridge, the Harbour, and the nearby Sydney Opera House is widely regarded as an iconic image of Sydney, and of Australia itself. Nicknamed "the Coathanger" because of its arch-based design, the bridge carries rail, vehicular, bicycle and pedestrian traffic.
Under the direction of John Bradfield of the New South Wales Department of Public Works, the bridge was designed and built by British firm Dorman Long of Middlesbrough, and opened in 1932. The bridge's general design, which Bradfield tasked the NSW Department of Public Works with producing, was a rough copy of the Hell Gate Bridge in New York City. The design chosen from the tender responses was original work created by Dorman Long, who leveraged some of the design from its own Tyne Bridge.
It is the tenth-longest spanning-arch bridge in the world and the tallest steel arch bridge, measuring 134 m (440 ft) from top to water level. It was also the world's widest long-span bridge, at 48.8 m (160 ft) wide, until construction of the new Port Mann Bridge in Vancouver was completed in 2012.

I was wondering whether or not to continue with my journey in Glen Cannich when I noticed the incoming snow shower, but I carried on and enjoyed a good walk in sunshine with Archie the dog.

'Hiding from its prey'. Backlit by the mid-day autumn sunlight a Buzzard, Buteo buteo screeching and calling as it was soaring high and getting carried on the thermals of rising air to 'hide' from its prey.
Buzzards fly high up into the sky and are often seen circling as they use the thermals of rising air to slowly spiral themselves upwards.
These raptors have amazing vision and can spot moving prey from up to 1 mile away…that good is the Buzzards vision.
The Buzzard scans the landscape for traces of movement that betray the presence of rabbits, voles or mice. Its eyes are more forward facing than most birds’ and, like humans, it has binocular vision. But it can also create a telephoto optical system that detects and follows movement that would seem a blur to us.
Many thanks for visiting my Flickr pages ...Your visits, interest, comments and kindness to 'fave' my photos is very much appreciated, Steve.
Buzzard Notes and Information:
Among the more unusual items recorded as being killed and eaten are puffins, frogs and dung beetles.
However, a hungry buzzard is quite capable of killing a wide variety of prey, ranging from rabbits to birds up to the size of a wood pigeon, but any larger prey tackled was probably already sick.
Numbers are greatest where the fields are smallest, as it favours abundant hedgerows and small woods.
Despite its impressive size, the buzzard is not a major predator, preferring a diet of carrion and earthworms.
It is thought that the buzzard is now our commonest bird of prey, pushing the kestrel into second place.
For the first time for 200 years they now breed in every county in England, Wales and Scotland.
While British buzzards are largely resident, many northern populations are highly migratory, many moving to Africa during the northern winter.
Once restricted largely to the west and north of mainland Britain, the last 15 years have seen a remarkable expansion of these birds to the east.
It doesn't like hot or arid areas either, so in Eastern Europe the long-legged buzzard replaces it.
Though the buzzard can tolerate areas of high rainfall, it prefers temperate climates, so is scarce or absent in the far north of Europe, where the rough-legged buzzard takes its place.
Each pair will have as many as 21 potential nest sites, usually changing to a fresh site every year.
Buzzards build their own nest, and they have a curious habit of decorating it with fresh green foliage.
Though most buzzards nest in trees, rocky crags or cliffs are also used.
This is a very adaptable species, able to survive in a wide variety of habitats from lowland farms to high mountains. Its main requirement is a tree at least 20ft high in which to nest.
Buzzards breed in every European country except Iceland, but are absent from some offshore island groups, including the Balearics.
It is because of its highly variable plumage that the French call it the buse (buzzard) variable.
Buzzards have remarkably variable plumage. Most individuals are brown and heavily marked, but some are almost white.
Buzzards have never been popular with falconers, as they tend to be far too lazy to be taught to fly at live quarry.
In the USA, the word buzzard is often used to describe the native turkey vultures. The two species are not related.
In Scotland, many tourists hoping to see an eagle mistake buzzards for their quarry. Any big bird of prey sitting on a telegraph pole is most likely a buzzard.
The buzzard's enthusiasm for eating carrion makes it especially vulnerable to poison baits, often put out to kill other predators such as foxes, living with birds notes.

I consulted an expert to help me with more specific identification, but learned that in order to do so I would have needed to get shots of the underside of the abdomen. I had no idea!

Three shot series. The Great Egret caught the crawfish, carried it over to the sandbar, where it was joined by the snowy egret. The Great Egret dropped the crawfish several times, picked it up, but eventually dropped it again, and the crawfish escaped.
