Had a wonderful couple days in the Mallee of Victoria as a place know as Pine Plains Lodge and got some shots of these delightful birds.
Upper Glade Creek
New River Gorge
This creek is one of the major tributaries of the New River and lies within the largest side valley off New River.
I've always enjoyed my hikes along Glade Creek as it is just full of beauty at every turn.
A Super Major tractor being put through the paces of ploughing a straight furrow at the 2017 Festival of the Plough in North Lincolnshire.
Another shot of todays storm! The sky was one huge wall cloud Totally black. It blew through town taking down several huge trees and power lines.

Major Bludd is a character that will always carry some extra significance to me because of Outrider. It's hard to believe it's been 11 years since we lost him to cancer. It's a very appropriate coincidence that a new Major Bludd figure gets released in May, right before the anniversary, so this week I'm going to try to do as many tribute shots as I can. We will never forget you Craig.
This female Great spotted Woodpecker had a bit of a stress on with the male, not sure what was going on, but they seemed quite intolerant of each other.... :@\
This bird is my all time favorite from Australia's variety of parrots.
The color in his comb is just strikingly beautiful as he kindly raised for me as I took the shot.

[from Wikipedia]:
The great spotted woodpecker (Dendrocopos major) is a medium-sized woodpecker with pied black and white plumage and a red patch on the lower belly. Males and young birds also have red markings on the neck or head. This species is found across the Palearctic including parts of North Africa. Across most of its range it is resident, but in the north some will migrate if the conifer cone crop fails. Some individuals have a tendency to wander, leading to the recent recolonisation of Ireland and to vagrancy to North America. Great spotted woodpeckers chisel into trees to find food or excavate nest holes, and also drum for contact and territorial advertisement; they have anatomical adaptations to manage the physical stresses from the hammering action. This species is similar to the Syrian woodpecker.
The great spotted woodpecker occurs in all types of woodlands and is catholic in its diet, being capable of extracting seeds from pine cones, insect larvae from inside trees or eggs and chicks of other birds from their nests. It breeds in holes excavated in living or dead trees, unlined apart from wood chips. The typical clutch is four to six glossy white eggs. Both parents incubate the eggs, feed the chicks and keep the nest clean. When the young fledge they are fed by the adults for about ten days, each parent taking responsibility for feeding part of the brood.
I kinda like this tractor, the Fordson Super Major. I've only ever seen these in ploughing competitions and farming shows. This one was at a ploughing show in North Lincolnshire in October 2018.
Located on the Ohio River at the historic Portland Neighborhood.
The island to the right separates the locks from the dams and the Falls of the Ohio. The viewing platform, center, puts a visitor at eye level with the bridge on many towboats. The island is a major staging area for the Army Corp of Engineers.
My heart was set on getting a shot of the aurora above Skogafoss. It doesn't work like that. There may actually be a hint of green in this shot but the cloud came in soon after.
