I must admit that it does not smell like roses to lay down next to the roting vegetation while observing these peeps having a feast.... it is however a fascinating scene.

This little hoverfly is only about 3 millimeters in size. The flower itself is about an inch across. He was having a field day on this little aster.

Le marché, c'est l'occasion de fouiner au calme, un jour où rien ne presse !
Et de faire de beaux rêves bleus et consuméristes...
Mais bon : on est tous à la même enseigne ! :-))
Gus has a plan. Probably. It may involve rabbits. (No luck there). It may involve the UK’s antipode. That’s some way off the coast of New Zealand, but only if he follows a straight line. Or with some clever navigation he could be in Eastern Australia by Easter. If so I’ll message ahead so Bruce or Victoria can get lunch on.
Meanwhile you’ll note Freddie adopts his customary “supervisory role”. That's the management classes for you...
Saw this Spotted eagle ray on the start of a dive when he was searching for something to eat. I could get really close because he was so busy and did not noticed me.

I don't think I have ever seen a butterfly dig so hard to find the nectar in the flower. This Giant Swallowtail worked really hard to find it. Of course I couldn't tell but he looked happy when he flew away. :-)

Apparently, this is the only suitable spot in some distance for a good dust bath. Goats came one by one and took their turn.
still digging into the past (aka. hard drive) a bit looking at some shots I might have missed. This one is from around Lake Minnewanka on a cold morning. Banff, Alberta, Canada

This oystercatcher was doing a pretty good job at finding which shell contained some food and which ones were empty.... How can they know and be so effective in their search? I am not sure, but here is what the Cornell lab of Ornithology says of their eating habits. I did not know that the search for food could be that dangerous to them.
www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/American_Oystercatcher/lifehi...
American Oystercatchers use their long, bladelike, orange bills to catch shellfish unawares, seizing them before they can close up. They walk across shellfish beds and when they encounter one that is partially open, they jab their bill into the shell and sever the strong muscle that clamps the shells shut. The technique is not without its risks though—oystercatchers do sometimes drown after a tightly rooted mussel clamps down on their bills and holds the bird in place until the tide comes in. The birds also feed by carrying loose shellfish out of the water and hammering at the shell, or by probing for buried soft-shell or razor clams the way some other shorebirds do.
