White-tailed Kite pair in the process of making food exchange.
I spent a lot of mornings and evenings to get one of this images. Although not satisfied with the cropping I had to do, but at least the image came out fine. Yeah, I know I always complain, but man, so much time spent to get a green background. Fortunately they faced in the direction of the camera.

P.S. I always wanted to do a tribute to this anime and I just never had the drive until this Lion came along. :D So thanks to his attention to detail and inspiration, this photo came together so nicely! This anime series is really one of the best out there and if you haven't watched it, I highly recommend it!
Thanks to the best partner in crime:- Kai's Stream ❤
It was a rather brief meeting with some short and sharp exchanges of opinions.

The Snail Kite has to exchange the snail from his talons to his beak so he can land and eat his prize.

From my epic experience with the mated White-tailed Kites, here's another use of that hovering "kiting" skill. The male holds steady with his prey, a gift for his mate as she comes in from behind to take the offering with her talons. It's pretty cool to watch - they start calling at each other before you can even see him coming with the catch. They're very vocal, a real joy.
Another photo from inside the Exchange Bar in Leicester. I'm very much liking this lens/film combination.

The Leeds Corn Exchange is a Victorian building in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England, which was designed by Cuthbert Brodrick and completed in 1864
The dome design was based on that of the Bourse de commerce of Paris by François-Joseph Bélanger and François Brunet
Leeds Corn Exchange is now just one of three corn exchanges in the country which operates in its traditional capacity as a centre for trade, albeit no longer for trading in corn.
After the restoration in 2007 the Corn Exchange re-opened in November 2008 as a boutique shopping centre for independent retailers. (wiki)

A Grade 1 listed building opened in 1863 that has housed corn traders, animal shows, night clubs and shops. The exchange doubled as a leather market from 1903 and also hosted animal shows, but its main purpose was as a corn market. Every Tuesday corn traders would gather to buy and sell their wares.
Due to the decline in agriculture the building was gradually converted into a shopping centre. An opening was cut into the trading floor and new stairs were installed to allow visitors easy access to the basement and the balcony. The corn traders continued to trade at the Corn Exchange until 1994.

It took 16 photo sessions for a total of 35+ hours to get a few sweet images of these White-tailed Kites making an aerial vole exchange. It was well worth the effort.

Located in the heart of historic Leeds, alongside Kirkgate - the city’s oldest street - Leeds Corn Exchange has been a magnet for visitors for more than 150 years. Designed by world-renowned architect from Hull, Cuthbert Brodrick, Leeds Corn Exchange opened in 1863 and operated as a traditional Corn Exchange until the early 1990s. Throughout the late 19th century, the building was a bustling centre for the exchange and sale of corn, wheat, barley, hops, cake and flour and also was host to a farmers’ market and regular leather fair. Neighbouring Kirkgate Market, Leeds Corn Exchange played a pivotal role in the day to day life of Victorian Leeds. [VisitLeeds]

ants can collectively influence their communities by shifting the cocktail of proteins, hormones and other small molecules that they pass mouth-to-mouth to one another and their young through a process called trophallaxis.
A candid street style Snap captured some people purchasing something from a London fast food outlet and looking as if they are exchanging a fork.

I had a "party line" growing up. This was in the 80s, long after most communities had moved on from the archaic system. How ours worked was that several neighbors shared a line, though we all had different number (five digits, though seven could also be used).
When the neighbor's number was called, our phone would ring, but only a quick chime. If we picked it up, we could listen in on the conversation. This was a mostly-unspoken pastime. Everyone did it, nobody said a word (directly).
If you needed to make a call and another party was using the line, you didn't get to make the call. Again, this was in the 80s. The 1980s.
This changed in February of 1988 when the local phone company made the big switch. It wasn't to touchtone (that would still be a few more years), but to mostly private lines.
The dial tone was softer, we had to dial all seven digits. It wasn't a full switch yet, you could still call other numbers on your party line, you just had to dial the number, wait for a tick, hang up and then wait and hopefully your neighbor would be there when you picked your phone up again.
At some point the party lines disappeared - probably in the early 90s. By that time, we had moved into a new house and a fully private line and a touchtone phone were standard. At one point in my teens, I even had my own number.
