Rutland Osprey fishing at nearby Horn Mill Trout Farm, Oakham, UK
Ospreys are migratory, those that breed in the UK return from Afrrica in the spring and summer months.
Ospreys became extinct in the UK in 1916. However following an attempt by a pair to breed at Loch Garten in Scotland, in 1954, succesful conservation work there, by the RSPB, has resulted there now being 300 pairs in Scotland alone.
However natural recolonisation elsewhere in the UK would have been very slow as returning males tend to build nests close to where they fledged.
Ospreys have been using Rutland Water as a stop-off during their migrations to and from Scotland for many years'
In 1996, a project began, which involved moving Osprey chicks from nests in Scotland and releasing them at Rutland Water with the aim to create a self-sustaining breeding population of Ospreys in central England.
In 2001, a male Osprey that had been translocated to Rutland Water Nature Reserve in 1997, raised a chick with a female from Scotland, close to the reservoir. . Today, over 200 young Ospreys have fledged from nests in the Rutland Water area since the first chick in 2001.
For a few days, the weather prediction was dire... but we only had a few inches... just right for a March snow.

Excuse me for posting another leaf today...but i love those kind of pictures (and of course taking them).

This is the gift that was just a tiny bit too big for MM. A gorgeous little red elephant which I believe my friend brought from a trip to India. Another gift from a neighbour, a little pot of 4 leaf clover. I picked one to give to the elephant to hold, it seems to carry it with joy!
I think it's time for another bird, an oldie showing mistakes I made early and often. It was 11 years ago, and I was just "getting a feel for the SX20, Canon's second Powershot iteration, and 'birding'." And, I was doing fairly well, but when I look back I had a tendency to center my subjects and not leave enough space for a better composition. Oh, I didn't do it all the time, but enough so that today it bothers me that I can't improve on an image like this one. (Just like I used to tell my barber when I had hair ... and a barber ... leave a little on the upper left.)
In this case, I was lucky. I went back to that very spot in 2018, the Old Borges Ranch fam ily home, and sure enough, this tree branch was still a favorite with Juncos and Golden-crowned sparrows. (Mourning Doves, woodpeckers, and raptors stayed clear. Too bad. I'd love to have gotten more of all three.)
Anyway, the head is darker and the chestnut color a bit deeper, but you could swear it was the same bird. And, I left enough room to crop if necessary. Still, after 2015, I started leaving suffcient space in the direction that my subject was looking, and my mistakes are fewer. Fortunately, I did not get into the habit of shooting everything close when in 2014, I bought the SX50 with a tremendous range.
{The dark-eyed junco (Junco hyemalis) is a species of junco, a group of small, grayish New World sparrows. This bird is common across much of temperate North America and in summer ranges far into the Arctic. It is a very variable species, much like the related fox sparrow, and its systematics are still not completely untangled. I don't care what they call it today, it will always be an Oregon Junco, the first bird along with the Black Phoebe, that got be hooked on photographing birds even before I had the focal length.}

the 2 horns and the statue are an artwork from Ivars Drulle ,standing in Middelkerke at the beach, where he gives us the opportunity to listen to the sea , we are too much in a hurry that's why time floats away from us, try to enjoy every minute of your life because it's just too short for to be stressed even for a single second

And, he did. My stepdad, Charlie, entered my life 45 years ago and was the only father I ever knew. I posted this photo for Macro Monday on May 2, not knowing that he had passed earlier that morning. I would like to dedicate this photo to him. It is a fitting tribute to all he meant to me. I love you, Charlie :)
Can't help but wonder what the fish is thinking as they gain altitude and head for the tree line.

Jenny Holzer: For Paula Modersohn-Becker
Als Jenny Holzer (* 1950) im Januar 2002 Bremen besuchte, zeigte sie sich fasziniert vom Leben und Werk Paula Modersohn-Beckers wie auch von der einzigartigen Architektur Bernhard Hoetgers.
Es entstand ein digitales Leuchtschriftband, aufgestellt im Treppenhaus des von Hoetger gebauten Paula-Modersohn-Becker-Museums in der Bremer Böttcherstraße.
One of the sweetest songs of the forest is that of the Song Sparrow. Here is an image of the vocalist in action, serenading everyone with his wonderful melody.
Thanks for viewing and Happy Easter!!

Thanks Latrry, I am constantly amazed by your excellent images
Thanks for your support and inspiring me.
See in Project contact Thank-You. # 96 When I was taking this, a rattle snake was sleeping behind me. I can't not blame my lack of perfect focus on the snake.
A snowy landscape awaited us when we reached the top of the chair at Sun Peaks in British Columbia, Canada. The low cloud created a dreamy scene that was gone moments after it presented itself.
Thanks so much for looking!

Well, I like the majestic beauty of an tree like this. I think it is a Common Oak (European Oak, Quercus Robur, zomereik, Stieleiche, Chêne Pédonculé) and this one too was growing on Offa's Dyke near Chirk Castle, Wales.
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT AND FAVES
ON THE REACTIONS I WILL TRY TO RESPOND BACK

from last year in our garden - Frankfurt-Nordend
as I was not able to take new pictures in our garden yet ...
Explored: 28.02.2020
Yesterday I got to know that Gunnar ("Saul Panzer") passed away a couple of weeks ago.
Gunnar was one of my first contacts on Flickr - and I dare to say we became friends. We were of the same age, grew up quite close on different sides of the narrow Öresund strait, Gunnar on the danish side, I on the swedish. We soon found out we had much in common, lots of mutual references and experiences. There were some rock concerts in Copenhagen and Lund in the end of the 60s and beginning of the 70s we both must have attended to simultaneously, of course without knowing each other then. When I posted a pic showing myself from the happy hippie years, Gunnar commented: "It is great to know, when someone has been the same places as one self (and I am not talking about geography)".
Actually it was on Gunnar's stream Barbara and I came to know each other. Gunnar was very happy for this. Last summer we visited Copenhagen and afterwards posted some pics from there. Gunnar reproached us for not having made a visit to him. We said, next year we will surely go to Denmark again, and then we'll meet. Gunnar sent us his address and phone number, and we looked forward for this.
But during autumn his presence at Flickr became more sparse. "Safely back from reality but just for the time being", he once wrote, but we didn't understand. He continued to make occasional postings of his beloved daughter Louise and other members of his family, but refrained from commenting, only made himself known by silent faves now and then.
Now he is gone. He was a good man. I miss him.
For a small bird the wren has a mighty voice and this one was giving a fine rendition this morning in the garden.
"Beg for forgiveness..." is what to do if you "happen" to end up in a closed greenhouse because you didn't see the "Closed" sign on the door (....because all you could see were the tulips and hyacinths blooming beyond it...) at the Lyman Conservatory.
But no need this time! This is an exquisite little Fritillaria assyriaca in the "tunnel" in the cold holding room waiting for its debut. (Thanks, Steve!)
There were cars lined up at the conservatory yesterday even though the 2015 Spring Bulb Show doesn't open until Saturday, March 7th. Seems we're all ready for Spring... :)
