The water levels at Knuckey Lagoon were quite low, but apparently just right for the several Egrets that were busily hunting prey.

I miss it all so much already.

 

The core of our home galaxy, the Milky Way, backlights one of 16 remaining semaphore blades along the Raton and Glorietta Subdivisions. The WB signal indicates a clear; however, the next train would pass through here almost 12 hours after this photo was taken: stark contrast to the traffic volumes this route used to see.

IMO ..from a North American perspective this bird has foraging mannerisms intermedite between a Spotted Sandpiper and a Lesser Yellowlegs

 

Like the Spotted in that it intermediately does the "Rump Pump"

 

Although comparable in size top the Solitary Sandpiper , it forages at a faster pace - more vigorously and animated than a SOSA

Rather reminiscent of its cousin the Lesser Yellowlegs

 

Yet it is not so frenetic and frantic as a Greater Yellowlegs' typical feeding style

  

i was very fortunate on this particular morning with practically continuous views for almost an hour as it foraged

Congrats Geoffrey on finding this exquisite mega rarity

 

i had been 0 for 3 before this outing ..

 

There has been more water coverage than is typical at this location, this spring season.

One of the best spots for shorebirds & ducks around Greater Victoria - early 2021..and on into the summer

Intermediate egret

This species looks similar to the great egret but smaller in size with neck length a little less than body length, has a slightly domed head, and a shorter and thicker bill.

Location- Jorhat, Assam, India

Many thanks for your visits, faves and comments. Cheers.

 

...from a visit to Buckley's Hole, Bribie Island. (Buckley's Hole Conservation Park is situated in the south-west corner of Bribie Island, the northern-most sand island in Moreton Bay, some 50 kilometres north of Brisbane. The park covers an area of 87.7 hectares and contains a freshwater lagoon, woodland, open forest and beach. It is this diversity of habitat that has led to such a large number of bird species being recorded in this small area, the present total standing at 270.)

There's plenty of fish for all, as long as then don't encroach on my territory.

Intermediate Maplet (Chersonesia intermedia)

At home. We usually have one visiting the neighbourhood this time of year. But I've seen at least three in the area. Such a special guest at home in Humpty Doo, NT.

The IXV Intermediate eXperimental Vehicle installed on its payload adapter, on 26 January 2015 at Europe's Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana.

 

IXV will be launched 320 km into space on top of a Vega rocket, VV04, climbing up to 420 km before beginning a long glide back through the atmosphere. In the process, IXV will gather data on reentry conditions to help guide the design of future spaceplanes.

So, I've been looking through my photostream, and I got the urge to recreate a bunch of my older builds. I like the design of a few of them, and felt like I should update them. So, here's the first ~ hope you like it :D

 

Cartridge: 5.91x50mm Soka

Fire Rate: 900 rpm

Range: 500 meters

Capacity: 30 rounds/mag

Extras: Top/side rail attachments, 10, 50 round magazines, sling, suppressor

 

Special applications bullpup assault rifle manufactured by Ashikawa Rifleworks. It fires the unique intermediate Soka round, designed especially for Ashikawa rifles. While it is functionally simple, albeit reliable, the most notable feature of the weapon is the removable underbarrel 10 gauge revolving shotgun. With only 4 shells in the cylinder, this gives the wielder a low capacity yet powerful close range and utility option. Compatible with a wide variety of shotgun shells. The rifle also comes with a reflex sight and side mounted LAM in standard configuration. Recently passed EAP advanced rifle trials, and is planned to enter full scale production soon.
