A large true Buzzard ( genus Buteo ) with broad wings and a short rounded tail which makes it easy to recognize in flight. It lives in mountain areas and in hilly country in woodland and savanna regions.
Its regular plumage shows a dark back, white below and a rufous tail. There is also a dark morph.
Besides Eastern Africa it can also be found in south western Africa.
It has a close relative in Southern Africa, the Jackal Buzzard
The prey of the Augur Buzzard mostly consists of small reptiles and mammals but it will also take large insects, small birds and will feed on road kills.

I'm not usually a big fan of reservoirs. I know they're a necessity for providing water to many, but they often scar the landscape and look very unnatural.
However, Simpson Ground Reservoir is one exception I've found.
Although there is a long dam at one end, the rest of the water blends in with the surroundings perfectly. It is a fascinating place, with plenty of knolls and viewpoints to explore. I visited this reservoir for the first time over 10 years ago, and have kept meaning to return over the years.
However, it was only the other day when I discovered a few images of it on a hard drive that it reminded me, so today I ventured there.
The day was murky to begin with, but I think it suited the setting perfectly. I'm particularly fond of this skeletal tree emerging from the water. It's definitely a place I'll return to again as there are many other photographic possibilities in different weather conditions.
The lowest place possible is a picture of humbleness. Many possibilities soon await when I except the sercumestances now.
It appears that these two squirrels are having a conversation as they stand just outside of their den. The Arctic Ground Squirrels took over a former fox den to raise their young. The Arctic Ground Squirrel are one of the few mammals that truly hibernate during winter. Their heart slows to one beat per minute and their blood actually drops to below freezing. During the fall, they will store flowers and seeds in their dens for food when they wake up in the spring and the tundra is still frozen with snow.
The Hornbill is of two species o Ground Hornbill and is the largest species of Hornbills. The other species of the genus Bucorvus is the Abyssinan Ground Hornbill, B Abyssincus. They are very different looking birds, I saw this one at the Zoo Atlanta.

In Africa Southern Ground-hornbills are classified as ‘vulnerable’ by the IUCN, however, in South Africa they are classified as ‘endangered’ and on the Red List of Threatened Species as only about 1500 individuals still live within the country. Loss of habitat, loss of nesting trees, electrocution from transformer boxes and even, in some cases, killed for use in traditional medicine, have all contributed to the rapid decline of these majestic birds.

My first shot of a Western Kingbird with a side profile. They typically prefer telephone wire perches way above your head.

The idea was to get as low to the ground and possibly line up some grooves in the cement, but alas I wasn’t happy with the result. I switched to monochrome and pushed the structure in the nik collection to show off the strong design work. No ants were hurt in the making of this photograph.

Agamas are able to change their body coloration quickly, much like a chameleon, although the range of change is not as great.
Mehtab Bagh is a charbagh complex in Agra, North India. It lies north of the Taj Mahal complex and the Agra Fort on the opposite side of the Yamuna River, in the flood plains. The garden complex, square in shape, measures about 300 by 300 metres and is perfectly aligned with the Taj Mahal on the opposite bank.During the rainy season, the ground becomes partially flooded.
“You’re insane,” I told him, and stood up to dress.
He hugged me from behind, pressing hard against me, rubbing his smooth chest along my back. He spoke into my ear, “Insane for you, my love.”

You may have seen them hanging out on power-lines or low hanging branches scanning the ground for prey. When hunting, they swoop down from their perches to catch bugs like grasshoppers, crickets, and beetles. Eastern Bluebirds are skilled hunters that occasionally can snatch bugs out of midair. They are also known to eat various types of berries in the winter.

For those who know Hodge Close Quarry you may recognise this view. It is just half a mile from the car park which was the starting point of a recent hike Mark and I had taken up Wetherlam.

7 Therefore Jesus said again, "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. 8 All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9 I am the gate; whoever enters through me WILL BE SAVED. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10 The thief comes only to STEAL and KILL and DESTROY; I have come that they may have LIFE, and have it to the FULL. (John 10:7-10)
