The oystercatcher is a large, stocky, black and white wading bird. It has a long, orange-red bill and reddish-pink legs. In flight it shows a wide, white wing-stripe, a black tail and a white rump that extends as a 'V' between the wings.
Because it eats cockles, the population is vulnerable if cockle beds are overexploited.
They breed on almost all UK coasts. During the last 50 years, more birds have started breeding inland. Most UK birds spend the winter on the coast where they are joined on the east coast by birds from Norway.
In the UK, Isle of Man, and Ireland, the Oystercatcher is resident in most coastal areas. It has an "Amber" status because it is considered Vulnerable in Europe and Near Threatened globally.

This is another photo from my excursion to Sensorio in December. It's been extended through June due to it's popularity. I went at sunset, it's beautiful as it gets dark.
Due to my health condition, I am unable to hold or stabilize a camera for extended periods of time. Additionally, using a tripod has never been enjoyable for me, as it would cause pain when trying to position it correctly and constantly bending over to check the viewfinder. Consequently, I have chosen to explore digital AI artwork as an alternative. I understand that this may not be everyone's cup of tea, as it diverges from traditional photography. However, I have always granted myself the freedom to exercise artistic license and pursue whatever brings me joy. Currently, digital AI artwork fulfills that purpose, at least for the time being.
In the female, the red on the head does not extend beyond the eye as it does in this bird. The species breeds from Europe to North Africa and Central Asia.

Rot ist eine der Primärfarben. Manche weisen ihr Aggressivität als Merkmal zu, Das muss nicht immer stimmen. In die Farbfülle einer natürlichen Umgebung eingebettet entfaltet Rot eine durchaus angenehme Wirkung,
The favorite color of most people is blue. But red also has a lot to offer in his gradients.
Is there such a thing as being too relaxed? I had to take this blind as I was holding the camera high above her - a couple had missing heads but I managed it in the end
I used the fish-eye mode on my PowerShot for this Tiger Lily in my garden.

A break from the images, from Tenerife.
This was taken from the bedroom window the distance this is at would normally be too far, however I was advised to purchase a x2 extender. The combination of the R5 x2 ext and the 500 f/4, this is the result, the light wasn't the best so a bit of noise, but I feel this is a great shot. I don't actually have any images of a Dunnock singing so a result all round. Its singing from our Plum Tree :)
Thanks to all who view and comment on my images, much appreciated :)
Al heel vaak geprobeerd om dit baltsgedrag vast te leggen maar altijd op te grote afstand. Nu met 700mm en een flinke crop is het eindelijk gelukt. Lager standpunt was hier helaas niet mogelijk.

We are not held back by the love we didn't receive in the past, but by the love we're not extending in the present. Marianne Williamson
The damselfly was too recently emerged to be able to fly. I think the wagtail just plucked it off the wooden post as it crawled up to dry off in the sun. The exuvia (exuviums?) of other recently emerged damselflies can clearly be seen on the post.
I had hard time in choosing the color of my latest origami-tessellation "Starry Flowerbed"…… I uploaded yesterday the mixed color version. But I find the other colors also interesting, because they emphasize a different aspect of this tessellation, at least in my eyes……. so I decided to show you all of them…
Folded with "Anett-Paper', grid 1:96, hexagon 43cm.
The final size 20cm.
If you are interested to see more, have a look at my tessellation album Origami - Tessellation Progression".
This image is a companion to the previous image and shows "the eager eater" receiving that serving of suet from his mother.
Thanks to all who visit, fave, comment, and extend invitations. Your support is much appreciated. I will be sure to visit your work, too
Extension rings as nature morte. Setup night in my local photo club.
I apologize for the long absence. Turns out, flickr is inaccessible in China. Who knew?
The mute swan is a very large white waterbird. It has a long S-shaped neck and an orange bill with a black base and a black knob. It flies with its neck extended and regular, slow wingbeats.
The population in the UK has increased recently, perhaps due to better protection of this species. The problem of lead poisoning on lowland rivers has also largely been solved by a ban on the sale of lead fishing weights. Some birds stay in their territories all year, while others move short distances and form winter flocks. In cold weather, some birds arrive from Europe into eastern England.

This clown face bird usually frequents the canopy and middle storey where the trees overshadows its bright colours. Usually solitary, its often sits on high perch making this species frequently heard but seldom seen. A fairly common resident in lowland rainforest, extending into lower montane forest.
Whale breaching - Southern Right Whales are about 15m/50ft in length, so only about half of it is visible here.
The patterns of white barnacles and sea-lice are unique to each whale and is thought to aid visual identification amongst the whales.
Its eye is clearly visible - they are able to focus both below and above the surface. The reason for breaching is not entirely clear; it could be part of their mating behaviour, or possibly a way of removing skin infestations - or maybe it's just fun!
Pictured here off the coast of Hermanus in South Africa. The whales can be easily seen from the cliff-tops.
We recently have extended rain, and we need it. I drove from the Silicon Valley to La Honda, located on the peninsula of the San Francisco Bay Area. The hilly area is full of redwoods. I drove along a windy road among redwoods, and noticed a small creek. I followed the creek on foot until I found a small waterfall.
I processed a realistic and a balanced HDR photo from a RAW exposure, blended them selectively, carefully adjusted the curves and color balance, desaturated the image, and added strong vignetting. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

Ducks have 360 degree vision. I sat on my behind and every time this female dove, I robbed closer and closer until it finally resurfaced very close to me and I could capture this full-size image.

What a pleasure it was to spend a few hours in the company of these gorgeous beauties.
Donna Nook now accounts for 1.5% of the world's grey seal population. The work of the wardens and the wildlife trust, is therefore crucial, for the future of these lovely animals.

Lions are the only cats that live in groups. Lions are the second largest cat on Earth (after Siberian Tiger).
It was a pleasant 4-eye meeting (early morning, Engelhard Dam Road). He gave me few seconds to take some photos and then suddenly started roaring. At first I was a little bit in panic, but after few seconds I unerstood that this was not for me, he was calling his friends.

Where will we extend our hands
Now that the weather does not care about us?
Where will we let our eyes wander
Now that the distant lines are shipwrecked in the clouds

During the Battle of Britain in 1940 it flew 49 sorties from Croydon and shot down five enemy aircraft.
San Francisco Square in the Historic Center of Quito.
From left to right, in the San Francisco building, you can see the doors of the Chapel of Cantuña, the Chapel of Villacísla, the main church, the convent and the museum.

The Church and its chapels (La Iglesia de San Francisco), which were considered sacred places.
Together, Church and Convent encompass three hectares including 13 cloisters (six of them major), three churches, and a large courtyard. In total, about 40,000 square meters of construction. San Francisco follows the classical typology of medieval monasteries. The main Church is the guiding axis and from there the cloister galleries extend: the refectory, the chapterhouse, and winery. These define a quadrangular courtyard, with the four respective pandas, or galleries: that of the chapter room, the refectory, the converts, and the mandatum. In addition to the basic dependencies of a convent, there were areas devoted to health care, education, crafts, a garden, and even a jail (to maintain strict discipline). The kitchen and dispensery operated in the cloister of services.

Walking from the Old Town’s narrow colonial streets into this open plaza reveals one of the finest sights in all of Ecuador: a sweeping cobblestone plaza backed by the mountainous backdrop of Volcán Pichincha, and the long, whitewashed walls and twin bell towers of Ecuador’s oldest church.

The Public Square (Plaza de San Francisco) was a purely urban space, demarcated and connected to various public activities (teaching, market, water supply).

Sad part of our History.
In pre-Hispanic Quito, the current lands of the Church and Convent of San Francisco were occupied by the royal palace of the Inca Huayna Cápac, before the advance of the armies commanded by the Spaniards from the south and the impossibility of defending the city the indigenous general Rumiñahui arranged the total destruction of it. In the city fire the palace was destroyed and buried under a huge amount of rubble and garbage. One of Rumiñahui's soldiers was the great-grandfather of the indigenous Cantuña, who as an eyewitness to the events had full knowledge of what was buried in the place. The construction of the church and convent of San Francisco began around 1537, just three years after the Spanish foundation of the city, with the completion of a provisional temple that was maintained until 1550, when construction of the current building began and which was completed around 1680. Although the building was officially inaugurated in 1705.
