Peregrine Falcon - Falco Peregrinus
The peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus), also known as the peregrine, and historically as the duck hawk in North America, is a widespread bird of prey (raptor) in the family Falconidae. A large, crow-sized falcon, it has a blue-grey back, barred white underparts, and a black head. As is typical of bird-eating raptors, peregrine falcons are sexually dimorphic, with females being considerably larger than males. The peregrine is renowned for its speed, reaching over 320 km/h (200 mph) during its characteristic hunting stoop (high-speed dive), making it the fastest member of the animal kingdom. According to a National Geographic TV programme, the highest measured speed of a peregrine falcon is 389 km/h (242 mph).
The peregrine's breeding range includes land regions from the Arctic tundra to the tropics. It can be found nearly everywhere on Earth, except extreme polar regions, very high mountains, and most tropical rainforests; the only major ice-free landmass from which it is entirely absent is New Zealand. This makes it the world's most widespread raptor, and one of the most widely found bird species. In fact, the only land-based bird species found over a larger geographic area is not always naturally occurring, but one widely introduced by humans, the rock pigeon, which in turn now supports many peregrine populations as a prey species. The peregrine is a highly successful example of urban wildlife in much of its range, taking advantage of tall buildings as nest sites and an abundance of prey such as pigeons and ducks. Both the English and scientific names of this species mean "wandering falcon," referring to the migratory habits of many northern populations. Experts recognize 17 to 19 subspecies, which vary in appearance and range; disagreement exists over whether the distinctive Barbary falcon is represented by two subspecies of Falco peregrinus, or is a separate species, F. pelegrinoides. The two species' divergence is relatively recent, during the time of the last ice age, therefore the genetic differential between them (and also the difference in their appearance) is relatively tiny. They are only about 0.6–0.8% genetically differentiated.
While its diet consists almost exclusively of medium-sized birds, the peregrine will occasionally hunt small mammals, small reptiles, or even insects. Reaching sexual maturity at one year, it mates for life and nests in a scrape, normally on cliff edges or, in recent times, on tall human-made structures. The peregrine falcon became an endangered species in many areas because of the widespread use of certain pesticides, especially DDT. Since the ban on DDT from the early 1970s, populations have recovered, supported by large-scale protection of nesting places and releases to the wild.
The peregrine falcon is a well respected falconry bird due to its strong hunting ability, high trainability, versatility, and – in recent years – availability via captive breeding. It is effective on most game bird species, from small to large.

Auch wenn Zebras auf den ersten Blick gleich aussehen, sieht man gerade beim Kopf bei genauerem Hinsehen feine Unterschiede in den Steifen.

Even if zebras look the same at first glance, on closer inspection you can see subtle differences in the stiffs, especially in the head.

I'm sure everyone has had that sort of a day....just feeling a bit obstinate. Apparently insects exhibit those feelings, too.

- Why are you in the shadows?
- we are the different
- the different ones?
- yes, the ones that nobody wants to see, the ugly ones, the dented
ones, the failed, the incomplete ,that are not the right kind
- how sad it is...
- What can I do to help you?
- tell our story, tell them that the difference is not a fatality,
that we too are capable of being among you.
Im Spätherbst fuhr ich bereits schon einmal diesen Weg durch Thüringen. Es war damals ein trüber Morgen. Heute war ich kurz vor dem Sonnenuntergang unterwegs...
Überwältigt vom Unterschied, den lediglich ein paar Sonnenstrahlen und ein imposanter Himmel machen können, muss ich euch hier noch mal beide Bilder zeigen!
…One for Sliders Sunday - besides the obvious B&W -V- Colour can you see some magic sliding gone on to make them nearer to the Olympic rings - no photoshop only Lightroom and no washers were mutilated in the process! See 1st comment box for other shot - original one from last weeks Macro Monday. Happy Sliders Sunday, Alan:-) HSS…..

This wasp-like falsehorn is cousin to the black-spotted falsehorn (Temnostoma excentrica) that I've previously posted to Flickr but there are some minor differences in the two species. One thing they both have in common besides having basic wasp colors is the way they like to wave those long black front legs in front of their face to look like wasp antennae since their own antennae are just tiny orange blobs. These big bulky flies pose no danger to people since they have no stinger and only drink flower nectar. Females lay eggs in rotting wood and their larvae eat that decaying wood for their food source. This particular fly proved to be the first record of a wasp-like falsehorn reported to BugGuide - a bible for insect enthusiasts here in the States - from Iowa.

Australasian Grebe (Tachybaptus novaehollandiae) male female
Just time for a quick visit to the Vic Uni Pond today. The Grebe chicks should hatch any day now. A difference in behaviour in that both male and female (and I can't tell which is which) didn't venture very far from the nest, giving me some opportunities to get some images with both in the frame.

Backlit, late in the day, and it is pretty clear one of them is the runt of the group. The size difference is pretty amazing, especially since it is almost erased in a few days.
One image was taken last night at 10 PM. The other image was taken at 8 AM this morning. Do you see the one difference? Poor Pumpkin! 😂
I really love this shot. I was going to hold off on posting it, because I've had a few edits that I wasn't going to make public yet, but when I did this one, I decided to post them all! This is my favorite and I couldn't wait!
For some reason, I haven't hit Explore for about 2 1/2 years, and I really wish this one could make the difference. Whether it ever does or not, I still like it and hope you do, too!
I continue to feel more normal each day, and though I'm still a trifle congested, it's not much more than on a regular allergy kind of day! Thanks everyone for your kind thoughts and prayers during this time. I very much appreciate it!

Coues Deer are a subspecies of Whitetail Deer found in desert regions, especially hills and mountains between 4,000-8,000 feet elevation, usually with scrub oak and high grassy basins.
This subspecies is isolated from other whitetails, but occasionally comes into contact with other whitetails in Arizona and Mexico. Coues whitetails are found in central and southern Arizona and the southwestern corner of New Mexico, and most all of Sonora, Mexico.
The most obvious difference between Coues whitetails and their other whitetail cousins is the size. Coues deer bucks (males) are only about 30 inches tall at the shoulder, and only the biggest bodied specimens will attain weights of over 100 pounds.
I photographed this Coues Buck near Portal, Arizona.
Hong Kong Disneyland.
I got so much inspirations when I started to capture the bubbles.
Timing, was out of my control.
I started to realize that,
I cannot control all the things with the same method,
I cannot expect all the outcomes with the same way.
This was the most wonderful inspiration I get from Disneyland@
The difference between the two is startling when they're close together. The Great Egret towers over the Snowy Egret! Lovely birds that look so much alike from a distance but are so startlingly different when seen together.
The Eurasian sparrowhawk (Accipiter nisus), also known as the northern sparrowhawk or simply the sparrowhawk, is a small bird of prey in the family Accipitridae. Adult male Eurasian sparrowhawks have bluish grey upperparts and orange-barred underparts; females and juveniles are brown above with brown barring below. The female is up to 25% larger than the male – one of the greatest size differences between the sexes in any bird species. Though it is a predator which specialises in catching woodland birds, the Eurasian sparrowhawk can be found in any habitat and often hunts garden birds in towns and cities. Males tend to take smaller birds, including tits, finches, and sparrows; females catch primarily thrushes and starlings, but are capable of killing birds weighing 500 g (18 oz) or more.
The Canal du Midi is located in the south of France, in the departments of Hérault, Aude, and Haute-Garonne. Its course runs for 240 kilometres between Marseillan, at a place called Les Onglous, where the canal opens into the étang de Thau near Sète and Toulouse at Port de l'Embouchure.
The Canal du Midi is a summit-level canal, climbing from Toulouse on the Atlantic side over a distance of 52 km to the Seuil de Naurouze or summit level, where the feeder canal enters. The total rise is 57.18 m, and the summit level is at an altitude of 189.43 m. This difference in level down to the sea is covered over the remaining distance of 188 km from Naurouze to Les Onglous on the Étang de Thau.

One of those instances where having the fancy lens makes a difference. Able to freeze the action of the waves and still shoot at a somewhat reasonable ISO thanks to f/1.2. The long exposure version of this (with the water all misty) has little to no drama .

I dont normally leave messages like this but...
The world has been tipped upside down with Covid and some of us are trapped in situations beyond our control. Stress and Depression are serious issues and our mental health is often brushed aside without proper consideration of the impact it has on us further down the line.
It can be really hard to ask for help when your feeling low, but help is out there, and that hlep wants you to talk to them, they really do.
Those not feeling low, lets do our best to love and look out for one another, and if you can pass on a smile to a stranger it can make all the difference to their day. Smiles can be seen through masks, their in our eyes too, and a smile is more contagious than Covid... So I will make sure my next picture will be a happy one.
