Moorhens — sometimes called marsh hens — are medium-sized water birds that are members of the rail family. Most species are placed in the genus Gallinula, Latin for "little hen"
They are in the same family as coots, and their nervous behaviour has led them to being called 'Skitty Coots' in some areas. The are not 'moor' birds, the name being a corruption of 'merehen'.
Mallard (male).
18 to 27 inchec in length. The male has a green head, white neck ring, chestnut breast and a grayish body. Speculum metallic purplish blue, bordered in front and back with white. The female is mottled brown with a white tail and purplish-blue speculum. The bill is mttled orange and black.
They inhabit ponds, lakes and marshes. Semi-domesticated birds may be found on almost any body of water.
They range from Alaska east to Quebec and south to southern California, Virginia, Texas and northern Mexico. They winter throught the United States south to Central America and the West Indies. They are also in Eurasia.

A small upright bird found on coastal cliffs & islands. Nest's in cavities high on the cliffs, being a ground nesting birds their young can be lost due to nest becoming flooded in bad weather
An unmistakable bird with its black back and white underparts, and distinctive black head with large pale cheeks and a tall, flattened, brightly-coloured bill. Its comical appearance is heightened by its red and black eye-markings and bright orange legs. Used as a symbol for books and other items, this clown among seabirds is one of the world's favourite birds. With half of the UK population at only a few sites it is an Red List species.
Eastern Chipmunk.
Between 8 1/2 to 11 3/4 inches in length. Reddish brown above with a white belly with 1 white stripe bordered by 2 black stripes on sides ending at the rump and 2 white stripes on back much thinner than side stripes. They have a dark center stripe down the back and pale facial stripes above and below the eyes. The tail is brown on the tip and edged with black. They also have prominent ears.
The Eastern Chipmunk's habitat includes open deciduous woodlands, forest edges, brushy areas, bushes and stone walls in cemeteries and around houses.
They range from southeastern Canada and to the northeastern United States from North Dakota in the west to the Carolinas and Virginia in the east.

With a body length of 6.75 inches, this tiny owl is difficult to find even in their territory. We listen for them calling, or for the sounds of a raptor being harassed by songbirds.
They sometimes like to perch high and look like a ball on the top of a spruce tree. You have to check them all.

A view looking to the west-southwest across the canyon and gorge with blue skies above while walking the Chasm View Nature Trail in Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. With this image, I zoomed in on the focal length. My feeling was to bring in closer those canyon walls I was looking at that morning. I later worked with control points in DxO PhotoLab 4 and then made some adjustments to bring out the contrast, saturation and brightness I wanted for the final image.
Mallards
18 to 27 inches in length. The male has a green head, white neck ring, chestnut breast and a grayish body. Their secondary wing feathers are metallic purplish blue, bordered in front and back with white. The female is mottled brown with a white tail and purplish-blue secondary wing feathers. The bill is mttled orange and black.
They inhabit ponds, lakes and marshes. Semi-domesticated birds may be found on almost any body of water.
They range from Alaska east to Quebec and south from southern Californiain the west and Virginia in the east. They winter throughout the United States.
Lake Erie Metropark, Monroe County, Michigan.
Male red-tailed hawks can measure 45 to 60 cm (18 to 24 in) in total length, females measuring 48 to 65 cm (19 to 26 in) long.
Their wingspan typically can range from 105 to 141 cm (3 ft 5 in to 4 ft 8 in), although the largest females may possible span up to 147 cm (4 ft 10 in). In the standard scientific method of measuring wing size, the wing chord is 325.1–444.5 mm (12.80–17.50 in) long. The tail measures 188 to 258.7 mm (7.40 to 10.19 in) in length.
The exposed culmen was reported to range from 21.7 to 30.2 mm (0.85 to 1.19 in) and the tarsus averaged 74.7–95.8 mm (2.94–3.77 in) across the races.
The middle toe (excluding talon) can range from 38.3 to 53.8 mm (1.51 to 2.12 in), with the hallux-claw (the talon of the rear toe, which has evolved to be the largest in accipitrids) measuring from 24.1 to 33.6 mm (0.95 to 1.32 in) in length.
This image was taken at the Belle Isle Marsh Reservation in Boston, Massachusetts, USA
The species reaches a body length of 5–7 millimetres (0.20–0.28 in). Most females are slightly larger than males. In these polymorphic insects, the coloration of the body is very variable (about 20 different colors are known). Usually, they are yellowish, brownish, or black, with brighter patches on a dark background, but also with dark markings on a lighter background.
The most common modes of locomotion are running and flying, but the most striking is their strong jumping ability, which is useful for escaping from predators. When jumping, the hind leg tarsal spines and spine hairs are embedded into the material the animal is jumping from, typically a plant, and provide the purchase needed for a lateral jump - confirmed with scanning electron micrographs. X-ray spectroscopy revealed that the darker coloured sclerotized tips of the spines, the last 6/100ths of a millimetre or so, contain zinc.
Eggs are white with an orange spot; this spot becomes darker and larger if the egg is fertilised, approximately 1mm long and 0.3mm wide. The larvae, also called nymphs, hatch after about 20 days and develop through five stages, known as instars.
The larvae are well known for the self-generated foam nests which can be observed during spring in meadows (especially on cuckoo flowers, Cardamine pratensis, and broom, Genista, species). The larvae in the foam nests are largely protected from predators and also get the necessary moisture for the appropriate development and temperature, so their mortality remains low even in bad weather. The larval stage lasts about 50 days. The adults leave the foam nest only when it is completely dried. This takes about ten days. The females mate soon after.
Froghoppers are polyphagous, their host plant specificity is low, so that they can feed on a variety of plants, mainly grasses (Poaceae species), reed plants (Juncaceae species), herbs and sometimes trees (including the olive tree, where the species has been identified as spreading Xylella fastidiosa, the bacterium associated with Olive quick decline syndrome). They have been identified on over 170 host plants.
One source says the Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains range is about 1,000 km (620 mi) in length. Its highest point is 7,090 m (23,260 ft) located 100 km (62 mi) to the northwest of Lhasa. The range is parallel to the Himalayas in the Transhimalayas, and north of the Brahmaputra River. [3] Another source says the Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains extend 460 miles (740 km) from Nyêmo County in the west to Ranwu County (the southwestern part of Baxoi County) in the east.
Its highest peak is Mount Nyenchen Tanglha (Nyainqêntanglha Feng) at 7,162 metres (23,497 ft).[4]
The southern side of the Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains is precipitous, and falls by around 2,000 metres (6,600 ft), while the northern side is fairly level and descends about 1,000 metres (3,300 ft). Most of the mountains are below 6,500 metres (21,300 ft).[5] They contain 7080 glaciers covering an area of 10,700 square kilometres (4,100 sq mi).[4]
The Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains have an average latitude of 30°30'N and a longitude between 90°E and 97°E. Together with the Gangdise Shan located further west, it forms the Transhimalaya [a] which runs parallel to the Himalayas north of the Yarlung Tsangpo River.
The Drukla Chu river rises in the Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains, where it is called the Song Chu river, and joins the Gyamda Chu river. The combined rivers run about 100 kilometres (62 mi) southeast to the Yarlung Tsangpo river.
Mute Swans.
58 to 60 inches in length with a wingspan of just under 8 feet. The adults are all white with an orange bill with a black knob at the base. The young birds are the same but dingy gray-brown becoming whiter with age. The Mute Swan holds its neck in a feaceful curve while native swans hold thei rnecks straight up.
They inhabit ponds, rivers, coastal lagoons and bays.
Not native to North America, they were introduced from Europe into the northeastern United States. Resident and most common in Southern New England, southeastern New York, New Jersey and Maryland. They are also locally established in Michigan.

dense fog this morning, the bluehour heralded no dawn just offered a blue blanket. I was alone entirely 5am on St Mary's beach save for the birds, not even the Lighthouse herself was visible. only 20 metres of causeway showing and the feeling was one of exceptional simplicity, serenity, and peace.
Have printed this both ways as I like the square that shows in the thumbnail too.

MSV Virtuosa design and features
MSC Virtuosa has a length of 331.3m, width of 43m, and weight of 181,541t. It has 19 decks and a passenger carrying capacity of 6,334.
MSC Virtuosa embarked on its maiden voyage from the port of Southampton, UK, in May 2021. It was the first cruise ship to depart from the UK after 14 months of voluntary halt of operations by the cruise industry following the onset of COVID-19 travel restrictions.
The coal tit is 10–11.5 cm in length, and has a distinctive large white nape spot on its black head. The head, throat and neck of the adult are glossy blue-black, setting off the off-white sides of the face (tinged grey to yellow depending on subspecies) and the brilliant white nape; the white tips of the wing coverts appear as two wingbars. The underparts are whitish shading through buff to rufous on the flanks. The bill is black, the legs lead-coloured, and irides dark brown.
The young birds are duller than the adults, lacking gloss on the black head, and with the white of nape and cheeks tinged with yellow.
While searching for food, coal tit flocks keep contact with incessant short dee or see-see calls. The species' song – if "song" it can be called – is a strident if-he, if-he, if-he, heard most frequently from January to June, but also in autumn. The song resembles that of the great tit, but much faster and higher in pitch.[11] One variant of this song ends with a sharp ichi. North African birds also have a currr call similar to that of the European crested tit (Lophophanes cristatus) which is not found in Africa.
Red-Bellied Woodpecker (female)
10 inches in length. Barred black and white above, pale buff below and on face. The male and female are similar except that the male has a red crown and nape while the female has a red nape only. Their reddish patch on lower abdomen is seldom visible in the field.
Its habitat includes open and swampy woodlands. It also comes into parks during migration and feeders in winter.
They range from South Dakota east through the Great Lakes and into southern New England and south to the Gulf Coast and Florida. Although not a migratory bird, some of the northern most birds will sometimes migrate south for the winter.

Candid eye contact street photography from Glasgow, Scotland.
Some might consider 70mm to be a short telephoto focal length although some consider the 85mm to be a long-standard lens. Personally I don't care. I shoot with my 24-70mm lens because of two reasons. First, it is a quality piece of glass that is pin sharp and, most importantly in Glasgow, weather resistant. Secondly, my old ankle injury and subsequent surgeries mean that I cannot move as quickly as I would like and that little bit of focal length reach means that I can get the shots that I see before me with a degree of flexibility. I find that 70mm is perfect for a candid portrait where the character is the subject, stopping down to f/3.5 isolates the subject nicely but still keeps the street background in context with the shot. Enjoy!
On a full frame, 35mm, the 50mm is seen as standard (although 40mm is closer to standard for the dimensions of the sensor or film of this size). 35mm is considered a wide standard and 85mm is considered a long standard. Let me know what you think! :)
Giant anteaters prey almost exclusively on social insects (i.e. ants and termites). Such dietary focus significantly shapes the physical form and behavior of the species. Giant anteaters do not have teeth; instead, they have tongues can reach as much as 610 mm (2 ft.) in length! As long as the tongue is, it is relatively narrow over the entirety of its length, with its widest point being only 10 to 15 mm (0.4 to 0.6 in.). They use this giant tongue to gather insects for food, extending it up to 150 times per minute.
Their tongues are covered with tiny spines which point toward the back of the throat. Additionally, their tongue is coated with a thick, sticky coat of saliva (which is secreted from relatively enlarged salivary glands). Prior to swallowing, the insect-coated tongue is firmly pressed against the anteater's hard upper palate – crushing their meal and easing ingestion.
The stomachs of anteaters do not secrete hydrochloric acid. Instead, they depend on the formic acid content of their ant-dominated diet to aid in digestion.
They can eat up to 30,000 insects a day.
Despite their coarse fur and thickened skin (particularly about the muzzle), giant anteaters may still be agitated by the large-jawed soldier castes of the ant and termite species upon which they feed. Accordingly, they avoid soldiers both actively and tactically. The anteater's typical feeding profile could be described as a lightening strike - quick feeding action over a short period. Such a clipped feeding incursion generally outpaces a given insect colony's ability to rapidly mount a defense; thus tactically avoiding the aggravation of soldier castes.
Giant anteaters tend to pursue the larger bodied social insects, while tamanduas and silky anteaters tend to prey on smaller insect fare. Such dietary segmentation allows for different anteater species to co-exist in the same region without being in direct predatory competition.
Giant anteaters are terrestrial. Unlike other anteater species, adult giant anteaters only rarely climb trees. Instead, its powerful forearms and prominent claws are used primarily for digging and ripping in the search for food.
While the giant anteater has five digits on each foot, their first digit is reduced and the second and third digits exhibit the long claws.
Anteaters are able to detect insects with their powerful sense of smell, 40 times that of man. If threatened, the typically non-vocal giant anteater may make a bellowing noise. Additionally, they will often rear up on their hind quarters and swipe with their (up to) 10 cm (4 in.) long foreclaws.
Anteaters do not walk on the soles of their forefeet. Rather, they flex the digits upward and turn the forefeet inward, such that the large foreclaws do not come in contact with the ground. Anteaters sleep as much as 15 hours each day.
As an outcome of their diet and lifestyle, anteaters have relatively low metabolic rates. As a stark example, the giant anteater has the lowest recorded body temperature of any placental mammal – 32.7° C (90.9°F).
When observed in regions without a significant human presence, giant eaters are diurnally active. However, giant anteaters appear to adopt a nocturnal lifestyle when living in more disturbed areas subject to human activity.
Giant anteaters, save for mother/young pairs, are generally solitary. Usually only one baby is born at a time. It nurses for 6 months and is carried on the mother's back for up to a year.
Sandhill Crane.
Between 34 to 48 inches in length with a wingspan of nearly 7 feet. They are very tall with a long neck and long legs. Largely gray with a red forehead. Juveniles browner with no red on head. Plumage often appears a rusty color because of iron stains from water of ponds or marshes.
They inhabit large freshwater marshes, prairie ponds and marshy tundra. They are also on prairies and grain fields during migration and in winter.
They range from Siberia and Alaska east across arctic Canada to the Hudson Bay and south to western Ontario. There are isolated populations in the Rocky Mountians, northern prairies, and the Great Lakes region along with in Mississippi, Georgia and Florida. They winter in California's Central Valley and across the southern states from Arizona to Florida. They can also be found in Cuba.

...... Only if you stop goosing around in my shot.
Lovely but cold morning at Derwent and Keswick where I was joined by this big fella for a few moments.
He seemed to be struggling with the harsh contrast between the bright sky, colourful island and dark water and just wouldn't shut up about how far apart I was bracketing my shots, what ISO I had chosen and did I use hyperfocal length for focusing.... I told him I didn't know what he was talking about, I just wing it.....

Ruby-crowned Kinglets in coastal southern Alaska and British Columbia are slightly smaller and darker colored than elsewhere in their range.
Ruby-crowned Kinglets are olive-green birds with a prominent white eye ring and white wingbar. This wingbar contrasts with an adjacent blackish bar in the wing. The “ruby crown” of the male is only occasionally visible.
These are restless, acrobatic birds that move quickly through foliage, typically at lower and middle levels. They flick their wings almost as they go.
These little Birds rarely stop , constantly on the move.
The tui is a large honeyeater, 27 to 32 cm (11–13 in) in length. The Chatham Islands subspecies is larger on average than the nominate subspecies, and heavier.
Males tend to be heavier than females. Nominate males weigh between 65–150 g (2.3–5.3 oz), and females 58–105 g (2.0–3.7 oz). Males of the Chatham subspecies are 89–240 g (3.1–8.5 oz) and females 89–170 g (3.1–6.0 oz).
At first glance the bird appears completely black except for a small tuft of white feathers at its neck and a small white wing patch, causing it to resemble a parson in clerical attire.
On closer inspection it can be seen that tui have brown feathers on the back and flanks, a multicoloured iridescent sheen that varies with the angle from which the light strikes them, and a dusting of small, white-shafted feathers on the back and sides of the neck that produce a lacy collar.
