La cascade des Combes est une petite cascade qui s'épanouit en éventail en sortant de la gorge de l'Abîme.
Comb Duck (aka Knob-billed Duck) at Martin Mere WWT. A rather strange looking duck but with gorgeous iridescent feathers on it's back. Not sure if this one was having a good wash, or trying to drench me and Maggie!

@Macromondays: Usually I post a weekly picture in the swedish flickr group ”Fotosöndag” (Photosunday). Last week I found out, that there also is a group on mondays. Since I love taking pictures (especially with a given theme you have to think about for one week) and I also would like to explore macro photography more than I have done so far, there was no doubt about to join ”macromondays”. This weeks theme ”abstract” is perfekt for macros. My personal challenge was to find an everyday object with any kind of structure or pattern that is interesting enough for a abstract macro picture. I chose a comb (very everyday…) and my children’s Lego Duplo plate.
AUNQUE EL "COMBUSTIBLE VACIO" VICALVARO-HUELVA DE LOS VIERNES SUELE TRAER SORPRESAS (ALGUNAS SEMANAS CIRCULA COMO ESPECIAL) , ESTA VEZ PASO REALMENTE VARIADO CON JJPD´s Y CISTERNAS DE BIOETANOL, QUE SON DE LOS VAGONES DE MERCANCIAS QUE MAS ME GUSTAN. SIN DUDA DAVID Y MIGUEL SON TALISMANES YA QUE ESTE DIA FUE RICO EN CIRCULACIONES.

Although locally common up North, I get a little bit excited every time I see one of these beauties as we don't see them in my home state of Victoria.
Their ridiculously long legs & toes, perfectly adapted to enable them to traverse the floating vegetation of the freshwater wetlands, swamps & lakes in which they live, make for really interesting photographic subjects. It's also why they go by the name Jesus-bird, for their ability to seemingly walk on water!

Jacana! The Jesus-bird!

During our Darwin trip, we visited the world-renowned Fogg Dam Conservation Reserve, about one hour East of Darwin in the Northern Territory. Situated within the Adelaide & Mary River Floodplains, during the wet season this reserve is home to hundreds of thousands of birds of numerous species. Unfortunately it was a little late in the dry season when we visited & much of the accessible water had receded, however the dam itself was still plentiful.
There were several Jacana dashing about the lily pads, busily hunting prey amongst & underneath the vegetation. I'll always stop & spend some time trying to photograph this species, so I was pleased when I caught this active bird as it landed on a lily pad having flown in from a nearby pad.
See if you can spoot the bonus Dragonfly!
I am happy to report that I successfully rebuilt the apiary this summer after last years collapse due solely to aerial insecticide spray for mosquitoes. Sadly there will be little to no honey surplus this year.
