We saw quite a few of these beautiful birds and their song was a frequent soundtrack to our surroundings.
So here is one, having caught it mid-itch
They were common enough, that few people stopped to watch them - but I continue to love "the ordinary birds" and likely will always try to get extraordinary pictures, of 'ordinary birds'.
The sun is shining but the sky is mainly gray on this stormy day without much rain near Point Bonita at the entrance to San Francisco Bay. Note the broken piers where lifeboats used to be launched to save ships in trouble.
The cliffs on the southwestern edge of the Eyjafjöll (Island Mountains) are seen on a beautiful morning from across the marshes on the Markarfljót delta along the road to Landeyjahöfn in South Iceland. The Markarfljót is a might river that carries glacial metwater and sediments. The delta floodplain has been enlarged by jökulhlaups which are a type of flash flood of glacial meltwater triggered volcanic activity beneath one of the glaciers. The cliffs in the distance are home to numerous waterfalls.
RSPB Bempton Cliffs.
Nests are made from seaweed, plants, earth and debris from the sea. The males usually collect the materials. Nests are compact cups typically 30–60 cm (12–24 in) in height. The area which a nest occupies grows throughout the breeding season as the breeding pairs throw their excrement outside the nest. Over years, nests can reach 2m (6+1⁄2 ft) in height. (Wikipedia).
In the photo: Gannets arrive on mass to gather nesting material.

So named by Captain John Smith on his map of 1612; the area is now called Calvert Cliff State Park, located on the eastern flank of the Calvert Peninsula, in Lusby, Maryland, USA.
Detail of a sandstone cliff in a side canyon of Lake Powell, probably Moqui Canyon. This is a severe crop of another shot that shows the cliff. The rock in the cliff has clearly had a complicated past.
Spent several days looking for new compositions for Otter cliffs. Found this one just off the Shore Path.
This image is illuminated by a cloud layer whose underside is glowing orange just before sunrise. A two layer stack was used to maintain sharpness near and far!

The Cliffs of Moher are sea cliffs located at the southwestern edge of the Burren region in County Clare, Ireland They run for about 14 kilometres. At their southern end, they rise 120 metres (390 ft) above the Atlantic Ocean at Hag's Head, and, eight kilometres to the north, they reach their maximum height of 214 metres (702 ft) just north of O'Brien's Tower,[4] a round stone tower near the midpoint of the cliffs, built in 1835 by Sir Cornelius O'Brien, then continue at lower heights. The closest settlements are the villages of Liscannor (6 km south) and Doolin (7 km north).
Ice rocks. Before the lake froze, during frosts, waves splashed freakish ice sculptures on the rocks.
While working on my photo album "Charming Ladoga", I decided, as an announcement, to make a post on my Yandex Zen channel, on one of the chapters of this album (Winter Painting), with lyrics and the best illustrations taken in 3 years. The stories in this chapter will be about the beauty of winter landscapes on the skerries of Lake Ladoga. Personal impressions, stories about the difficulties of photographing in these places. Here, who is interested in reading, a link to this chapter from the album: zen.yandex.ru/media/id/5c6fb4232684b000bcba2ff3/zimnee-la...

A view from the edge of a cliff in an old quarry. Somme place will still look good, even with a grey sky, like this one.
The north Cornish coast has numerous remains of old tin and copper mines and their associated processing works, such as here at Trevaunance Cove near St Agnes. The beach at Perranporth can just be seen in the distance, beyond the cliffs.
Behind the red rock is a wholly different geology and the overhangs at the base made for the perfect place to build houses. So the Sinauga people did. At least that's the name Europeans gave them. They were most likely the ancestors of the Hopi nation.
