Fregata magnificens

Bateleur Eagles usually come down to the water in the middle of the day.

They are a colourful species with a very short tail which, together with its white underwing coverts, makes it unmistakable in flight. The tail is so small the bird's legs protrude slightly beyond the tail during flight.

Size: The average adult Bateleur is 55 to 70 cm long with a 186 cm wingspan. The wing chord averages approximately 51 cm. Adult weight is 2 to 2.6kg. (Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, Botswana)

These group of Pelican were trying to nap. But as soon as I got nearer, they have their eyes on me.

If you are old enough, you will remember this theme song for the Western movie " The Magnificent Seven "

This magnificent specimen of the Weeping Willow was resplendent in emerging new green leaves. It is in full display in Altamount Gardens.

Altamont Gardens are an enchanting blend of formal and informal gardens with riverside walks covering over 40

acres (16 hectares). Lawns bisected by sculpted yews, slope down to a lake surrounded by rare trees and rhododendrons and lead in turn to a very different garden featuring exotic shrubs and trees. It is in County Carlow, Ireland.

This magnificently graceful bird of prey is unmistakable with its reddish-brown body, angled wings and deeply forked tail. It was saved from national extinction by one of the world's longest-running protection programmes. It has now been successfully re-introduced to England and Scotland. Red kites are listed under Schedule 1 of The Wildlife and Countryside Act. What they eat: Mainly carrion and worms, but opportunistic and will occasionally take small mammals (Courtesy RSPB).

Thanks for viewing my photos and for any favourites and comments, it’s much appreciated 👍

The first Greek amphitheater in North America was built on this site in 1901. It was used for sporting events and theatrical performances. The tessellated pavement and stoa were added in 1909. The theatre was the site of a number of productions of Greek and Shakespearean dramas.

Srirangam in South India is famous for the Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple complex. A major pilgrimage destination for Hindus, it is the largest temple complex in India.

One from a trip in 2021. Elgol really is a place I feel I must visit each time I'm on Skye, it just seems to have everything a photographer craves, not least mountains that go into the sea and more often than not, moody light.
