In the beautiful morning light the three cheetah cubs were watching their mother.

Two blended shots of a juvenile Black-faced Cuckoo Shrike come to cadge food from a compliant human. This is one of two chicks, each with very different personalities. They both come looking for food, but this is the more assertive of the two. It has learned that I will throw food onto the roof for it, as I do for its parents. Last week it waited on the roof for the food, this week it hovers above the roof and dives to pick up the food. This is their natural behaviour and it's wonderful to see this little bird grow and learn so fast.
As seen on a walk.
This hill is often used to teach drivers, as you have to weave in and out of passing traffic, but here he or she has the road to themselves.

I am guessing that this is a juvenile starling and it has not taken it long to suss out the fat snax feeder here at Chez FatSnax . It has been a bit of a battleground here at the feeder with magpies , jays , starlings , sparrows , bluetits and even the robin all trying their hand at getting to the fatsnax ! The pigeons come in and land on the roof of the bird table and have serious trouble working out how to get at the bird table without sliding off of the roof on the table - the idea of working out how to land and scoff from the feeder is way above their paygrade Therefore , one has to ask why the pigeon have one of the biggest populations around our towns and gardens when their IQ level is so poor ?
But for the starlings like above they seem to have more about them even if they are a raucous lot and get called " The Squabble Squad " here .
I took this shot through the open patio door standing in the middle of the living room .
I really dislike people being trained on a single decker. You need to have the awareness of a high vehicle, so you are looking for overhanging trees etc - and signs on bridges!
Yesterday evening our power blew out - again - and a major storm came rumbling through. When I saw the potential, I grabbed my oldest lens (the manual focus Nikon 24mm f/2.8) and tripod and drove to the edge of town where I set up inside my car, hoping for a few good lightning strikes within my field of view.
Bonus: the strobe from the sky caught a cloud of insects - maybe mayflies, possibly craneflies as their legs seem really long. They appear only in this one shot. Not quite as exciting as Bill Bowman's bat, but I'll take it.
It was a great storm to shoot, as the rain held off for almost 45 minutes while I watched the light show and shot frame after frame. I drove to three or four locations; needless to say, the best lightning bolts occurred while I was in transit. It's always like that. I should just pick a spot and stay there, but I'm a slow learner.
When the skies finally opened up, I drove home in blinding rain. Good thing I know the road well. I could barely see past the hood of my car, and definitely couldn't see the pavement. I just tried to stay out of the ditches, and somehow managed to navigate back to the safety of my driveway.
By then the power was back on. All's well that ends well.

I went to Knot & Co and had a wonder around the shop to see what I could use in my photo for the competition, I decided on this skateboard even though I have never skateboarded in SL or RL, this is how I imagine my self to look, wobbly as hell and out of control lol

On a recent walk among the Pitcher Plants I was content to simply walk and listen to the birds. Most of the Pitcher plants were not in full bloom and I have so many pictures of these unique blooms. It was a good feeling as a photographer to not feel the need to take a picture all the time. I can wait now until the right moment comes along and take time to explore what is really happening around me. It was then that I saw a bee fly to the bloom of this plant and he actually wiggled his way under the folded petals to get to the middle. I was surprised because I didn't think bees would be interested in this kind of plant. I don't know why I had that notion. I hope I can continue to be a lifelong learner in the next phase of my life.

I heard about the Kingfisher parents always shake and toss the fish's head before they feeding their chicks; seeing this young Kingfisher imitating the move with a stick was absolutely stunning! Very educational indeed!
When I introduced 8 month old Moustache last Caturday, I mentioned that he was wearing an e-collar because he lost a fight with the big black cat who lives next door. What I failed to mention, was that it was the SECOND time he had lost a fight with the big black cat who lives next door.
Can anyone say, "dumb as dirt"?
*No dumb kittens were harmed in the making of this photograph. All Pasta had to do was turn around and give Moustache the evil eye and he beat a hasty retreat.
**Actually, I had to lift Moustache off the treatment table since he couldn't beat a hasty retreat with an e-collar on.

Buses operated under contract to run in London must be red. Outside of London, in general operators use their own company livery - and also for training buses not used in service, as we see here, with Arriva's blue learner vehicles lined up at Enfield garage.

It happened again. Phil the Perch talked Spike the Pine Needle into going swimming even though Spike knows he can't swim. Not only that, Spike had to bring his whole family with him so everyone nearly drowned. Fortunately, Steve the Ibis was near by and saved Spike and his family!
