A crested serpent eagle in Kaeng Krachan National Park.
Wikipedia: The crested serpent eagle (Spilornis cheela) is a medium-sized bird of prey that is found in forested habitats across tropical Asia. Within its widespread range across the Indian Subcontinent, Southeast Asia and East Asia, there are considerable variations and some authorities prefer to treat several of its subspecies as completely separate species.
The crested serpent eagle is a reptile eater which hunts over forests, often close to wet grassland, for snakes and lizards. It has also been observed to prey on birds, amphibians, mammals, fishes, termites and large earthworms.
Conservation status: Least Concern

Although this gorgeous lady was well aware of my presence, she was certainly not bothered by me at all. She was more than happy to pose for several minutes, before providing me with a close up flying display - see previous post.

The Bridge....
Saturday Karen and I made our way to the south end of Heart Lake Conservation Area; The fall is a fickle time. some years the leaves changing colours are okay and others they don't change much at all. some years they last for a long time others a sudden storm and strong winds and its all over.
This is probably the last weekend for shooting fall colours in southern Ontario, the colour display is off the charts, so may varied shades of red, yellow and burnt orange.
this shot is of the bridge in the middle of the park, it is showing signs of its age and will probably be replaced with a much better newer one, but i do love the old worn out version.

Excerpt from uwaterloo.ca:
Description of the District
The Cross-Melville Heritage Conservation District is bounded by Sydenham, Melville, Cross and Victoria Streets in the former Town of Dundas, now the City of Hamilton. The district consists of 49 properties. These properties are predominantly single family dwellings with the exception of three churches.
Cultural Heritage Value of the District
According to the Cross-Melville Heritage Conservation District Study - Background Report the cultural heritage value of the district lies in its historical and associative value, design or physical value as well as the contextual value. The Background Report concludes:
“The Cross-Melville area constitutes a superb collection of buildings with particularly fine architectural attributes. Tree planted along the streets enhance the surroundings of individual buildings and provide expansive canopies over adjacent streets. Developed in the 1840s and 1850s as the first exclusively residential area distinct from the commercial and industrial locales of Dundas, this neighbourhood is associated with numerous prominent citizens, mayors and councillors, including George Rolph, William Notman, Alexis Begue and the Grafton family”.

I saw this plant at Tamala Park Conservation area. Not sure what it is and i suspect it may be a weed but I genuinely don't know. It was very cute and about the size of my fist.
Another of my favourite birds, ever since my first visit to the Hawk Conservancy in 1991.
Found in the Americas (mainly southern) they're ground foraging birds. The half coconut shell behind him is place where they put their food for them to forage for and find.
The oldest recorded living caracara was found in Florida aged 21 years, having been ringed 21 years previously.
The Hawk Conservancy does a lot of conservation work around the world, helping to keep alive many species of birds.
How can you help? Visit them - they're near Andover in Hampshire! Alternatively, just send a donation!

The Conservatory Hesketh Park, Southport, England.This superb Victorian Glass building was relocated to Hesketh Park in 1878 having previously been part of a private residence in the town.In recent times it has been neglected by the local council so that quite a lot of remedial work is now needed.Thankfully funding has been obtained to restore it to its former glory.

Long, curved bill. Adults mostly dark with iridescent green and reddish tones. Very thin white border surrounding the dark facial skin. Dark eyes. Usually gregarious, it is found mainly in salty marshes and shallow wetlands.
Unmistakable in most of its range, though American birds are best distinguished from White-faced Ibis by distribution and facial pattern.

Camber Sands
Camber is a small resort in East Sussex and is not only famous for its sand dunes but its connection to the Pop and Film Industry.
Close to the River Rother the dunes stretch for 3 miles (just over 4.5km) and are unique to East Sussex. Part of the dunes are classified a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and the residue are a Site of Nature Conservation Importance.
They were fortified during WWII because of their resemblance to both Desert and Normandy and intense training went on there. There is a ship which lies of the coast called the ‘Avon’ which went down in 1852 and the wreck can be seen at low tide.
Some of the films that were shot here include: The Longest Day; The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner; The Theory of Everything and for those who enjoy a more cultural frame of mind then go no further than ‘Follow That Camel’. What a treat.
Pop Artists include: Suede; Nick Heyward; Fatboy Slim; Paul McCartney and Wings and Squeeze, quite a line up. A terrific place for a beach holiday as there are lots of other things to do with kites, such as surfing; landboarding; buggying and other more physical exercise. Me I have a deckchair and a camera what more is needed. Oh yes, a picnic.

Red-cockaded Woodpecker (Dryobates borealis)
Francis Marion National Forest, South Carolina, U.S.A.
A Red-cockaded Woodpecker clings to a longleaf pine, momentarily pausing from his relentless drilling.
The Endangered Species Act (ESA) has played a crucial role in the survival of the Red-cockaded Woodpecker in the Southeastern United States. Since its listing as an endangered species in 1973, federal protection has facilitated active conservation efforts, including habitat restoration and management on federal lands such as national forests and military installations. I've seen firsthand the positive impact of this protection on numerous Army installations across the American Southeast. As a result of these efforts, this species has been downlisted from "endangered" to "threatened," marking a major milestone in its recovery.
Rivers Edge..
On Monday we hiked into the south end of heart lake and spent the morning and part of the afternoon, wandering through the woods taking photos of the brilliant coloured trees. The pathway was covered in a carpet of leaves that crunched under our feet as we walked.
There is nothing quite like being in the middle of a forest, when it is raining leaves from the lofty canopy overhead. This shot taken at the rivers edge on the far side of the park. .
