Another shot of the Red Necked Grebe chick catching a ride on the parents back. I've tried to get this shot several times but my timing was always a little off until this session.

Barbary Macaque taken through the windscreen yesterday at Woburn Safari Park. He was happy to stay there for ages & my grandchildren loved it. No damage to the car thank goodness.

Australasian Grebe (Tachybaptus novaehollandiae)
Great to be able to see the Grebes again today. It looks like just the two chicks in this clutch. I didn't see any of the five chicks in the first clutch actually riding around on the parents back like this so was happy to get this image.
Still being unable to get out I am continuing to delve into my archive. This time though I only go back a couple of years to a visit to the local reserve at St Aidans. Alas the photo was taken through some reeds which are just visible in the image.
The subjects are a pair of little humbugs seen hitching a ride on a parents back. After the chicks have hatched black-necked grebes will desert the nest and the chicks live on the parents backs for about 4 days. After about 10 days the parents will split the chicks up with each parent taking care of half of the brood. They are independent after another 10 days and fledge in about 3 weeks.
The latest news from the reserve is that 18 were spotted on 30th March. Fingers crossed we will be treated to a repeat of such sights in the near future.

I've always admired the beauty and grace of the sadly now-endangered Whale Shark, and growing up remember watching diving films of curious diving teams encountering them in the wild and hitching a ride. Its distinctive markings still divide the scientific community however, so much is still a mystery.

We took the car ferry to get to my daughters from Port Bolivar to Galveston, TX and I looked up and noticed this crew of hitch hikers taking a free ride. I liked the light and the red, white and blue.
Happy Friday and have a nice weekend!
Thie smaller Eastern Painted Turtle was resting atop the larger turtle as they sunned themselves. The bigger one appears to be a Red-eared Slider.
Found in Orvieto, Italy. A highly recommended town.

For Smile on Saturday... "Free Theme"
As my grandson and I crossed Port Phillip Bay on a ferry this Silver Gull stayed on the rail for most of the journey.
Many thanks for your visits, kind comments and faves, very much appreciated.
Baby Alligator riding on Mom's back. Alligators are good mothers and go to great lengths to protect their babies from predators. At one point three babies were riding, one actually straddling the Mom's head. Quite remarkable as I've never seen this behavior before, although it is well documented.
Takes awhile for me to get a decent shot of this hitch hiker. Now I had completed my collections of 3 Australian grebes hitch hikers. Only takes me 4 years😅
Mule team; previously posted in color; I much prefer in black and white.
These mules are half sisters.

Pose: The Traveler
Once again I’m indebted to the gorgeous Volupturaptor Perl for this gorgeous outfit idea featuring the double cuteness of this Zenith shorts and top combo, available now at N21, and this M.Birdie jacket slung over my shoulder. The striking pose is from a brand new set from Signature Pose of which I’m sure I’ll be featuring more!

Black Sexton Beetle (nicrophorus humator) giving a free ride to a mite.
The Sexton beetles are the undertakers of the insect world. They fly to carrion, attracted by the smell (check out the antennae!). If the dead animal is small, such as a mouse, they crawl underneath and excavate the soil so that the corpse gradually sinks into the ground. They then lay eggs nearby, and stay until the larvae hatch, and even feed them.
They are on the wing maily from April to September.
They are able to fly long distances to feed on carrion and so can be seen a wide variety of habitats depending on where their food is to be found.
